places.
>> For that last-minute road
trip and you don’t miss out on
the summer fun in aid over yet.
So this morning we’re taking a trip, if you will, to the San
trip, if you will, to the San
Antonio Zoo. It’s ranked the
number one zoo to visit in the
state by Texas Travel Awards
this year. And if you’re traveling by car, the San
traveling by car, the San
Antonio Zoo 190 miles away from
Houston to roughly 3 hour
drive. Great distance for a
weekend family road trip.
So many of us have hit the road
I-10 before, but they haven’t been to the zoo. Boy, oh, boy,
been to the zoo. Boy, oh, boy,
it’s a treat to tell us all the
things about it is the
president CEO tomorrow. Tim,
how you doing? Good morning.
>> That morning was nicer.
You guys talking about rain
earlier. I know, right? That is that the feels like the
is that the feels like the
entire state just getting
hammered
this year to tell us about the
Santorum. And, you know, we
love the Houston Zoo. My family
are members here. We love it. But
>> taking a road trip. It’s
always fun to get to go to San
Antonio and what a great
attraction for visitors.
The San
Antonio Zoo. >> Yeah, it’s great to ask if
>> Yeah, it’s great to ask if
you’re a member of the easy and
half price.
>> So our so no rain benefit
of being a member of one of the
places in the country. San Antonio’s 108 years old is it’s
Antonio’s 108 years old is it’s
much like Houston. I know just
from 100 is it’s a community
jobs and to treasure a lot of sort of buildings them or walk
sort of buildings them or walk
starts inside the San Antonio
Zoo and just a lot of amazing
experiences for guests and
something new. Every time they
come.
>> No kidding. I didn’t realize
that. So the RiverWalk is it is, as you said, it begins in
is, as you said, it begins in
the zoo or how does that work?
>> Yes, we have a well property
that comes every song for
wealth and for a lot more and
the support systems. And then
that is the result, a system and then into Prairie farm,
and then into Prairie farm,
which is where I’m saying it’s
begins and starts flowing
through downtown Riverwalk.
>> No That must be cooled to
see What about this? What about the And you do have some
the And you do have some
favorites or water. One of the
family’s love to come see the
most.
>> Now we have I have my
favorite thing is that whatever project we’re working on right
project we’re working on right
now? So we used to play in a
new area commute, robbed a
jaguars and that will be
overhead camera system that
goes through a hearing next
hour. Some multiple spaces.
So for me, it’s really fun to
watch the Jaguars and their
interaction with the
U.S. a first draft and are some
and has a beautiful place, no
feed animals and then see those animals in the national
animals in the national
setting. And I always find the
owner and not just us a pack of
lions that I like to play
together and chase each other
around and have all the time.
So that’s a lot of fun. And it’s a says, well, you know,
it’s a says, well, you know,
yeah, lines. That’s a fan
favorite for sure.
>> Tim, I’m I’m reading here
that you guys recently had one
of those corpse. Flowers didn’t
blues with that, not blue. What’s the story with
What’s the story with
that one?
>> We got right to the edge of
the Little League. We can
start selling it started making
a smell that we’re right about that. Didn’t limit the next day
that. Didn’t limit the next day
or 2, not personally and did
not make it to the moon.
So what that means really the
flower, not when the playoffs
is So now wait another 10, 15
years to see if that plant
blooms again. But consolation
for Mis-selling doesn’t plan to
still be and where you know,
we have more freedom looms.
>> Okay. Yeah. 10 to 15 years.
That’s a pretty big cycle.
I mean in it during that 10 to
15 like what? What is the
attraction start with the
people want to come see it and
smell it. I mean, I feel like
it’s just like the last few
months or maybe the last year
of it. Yeah, it smiles for
today. So once it opens, it
really got to get to it This is
a really pretty planning to get
up to 10
plus feet tall. >> And really fun to watch.
>> And really fun to watch.
And so we put it out on the
slate for NSA watching that we
last left now. So yes, to watch
that decomposition process were
teaching us all about the next cycle of that plan, not just
cycle of that plan, not just
the bloom. So always a process
for trying to turn this
process. And even though it did
a lot of people and a lot, of
course, learn when you’re
talking about so much here from west to east.
west to east.
>> It is interesting. I mean,
it’s a it’s not just the the
entertainment is the education
for for families. I think
specifically for the kids, too.
But but talk also about the conservation efforts. I feel
conservation efforts. I feel
like this is so important to
the zoo.
>> Yeah, education and
conservation are killers.
And that’s the case for most We operate to learn as much of
We operate to learn as much of
a surprise when it comes.
It will soon as this fall when
he to patient apartments and
then a conservation department
that is doing work around the
world. So where places like Peru and Chile and Mexico are
Peru and Chile and Mexico are
conservation biologist doctor
finale was right now and all of
that. So I’m doing some
research that the very bottom
of the golf somewhere in Japan, you know, in all cars may
you know, in all cars may
surprise. You hear him out in
Asia and Africa along with his
long and locally here in Texas.
We’re working on be introducing Texas one, Missouri, back into
Texas one, Missouri, back into
the environment for species
from South Texas. Most kind of
thing. So I’m conservation,
rich, especially when you put
them all together as one group.
It’s it’s a big movement to try
to really save this planet. >> Very before you go to Tim, I
>> Very before you go to Tim, I
want to ask you about this
planet Earth. Deep Sea
adventure just
sounds cool.
>> Yes, so that is a project we have for the summer. Every
have for the summer. Every
summer. We have kind of a new
incentive. Family owns this
warming trend in ourselves and
features of been addressed and
not to no one mentioned was on
and off. Right now. It’s really fun. Wraps its creatures,
fun. Wraps its creatures,
military mom and all they would
never see to see more just out
and about and craving something
like that. So, you know, the
first thing you see in movies like finding the mother of the
like finding the mother of the
number one Lee World’s a star
will
face. And so this probably toss
about the notion that a species
we had a 41 here in this year Muncy movies that relates and
Muncy movies that relates and
this throughout the Sooners
planner DC Planners. I’m
actually seeing videos and
photographs and some nice
exhibit throughout to
see that really to see people
out on the very minds of the ocean, which we really don’t
ocean, which we really don’t
know much about.
>> Yeah, so much left to
explore to what lurks beneath
it before you go to what about the website and a place for
the website and a place for
folks to get more information?
>> not work is the best of our
website. We know in our social
You know, we’re on Facebook and Twitter and Instagram and
Twitter and Instagram and
TikTok and all those places and
we have a really find social
media team that was really fun.
Concern me as all the time.
So it’s a fine falls, you know, rank of your time lines model
rank of your time lines model
that will news and things are
happening in the
world. So this is a fun fall.
And again, here from Houston,
much of a San Antonio is a
beautiful city. And if you
remember the exact cause of the U.S. and so that number so far
U.S. and so that number so far
