- Hey guys, welcome to day 15 36.
- And we're at the San Diego Zoo!
- [Clintus] Where should we go first?
This place is huge!
(light music)
Bryce, who's sitting with you?
Brodie, what's up Brodie man?
How you doing girls?
- Good.
- [Clintus] You excited to see some animals?
- Yeah.
- [Clintus] Yay! Yay!
Hey, why don't you come back here and sit with Tiffany?
There you go.
Got Sierra sitting next to me.
Yeah, yeah, yeah yeah yeah.
- [Voiceover] Welcome aboard everybody!
My name is Monica,
I'm going to be your tour guide and driver
for the next 35 to 40 minutes or so.
- [Clintus] That's a long route.
- [Monica] There's a lot for us to see
as we make our way around the zoo today.
- I'm excited guys!
I like the zoo,
I love rain forests, tropical,
look at this, look!
We're in a rain forest, we're in a rain forest!
I told the kids,
let me know if you see any dinosaurs,
because it totally reminds me of Jurassic Park.
Oh yeah, look at the rain forest, man.
So cool.
Love it, love it.
- [Monica] Now, Valerio has gotten quite a bit larger
than his mom now.
He was born at six feet and 146 pounds.
Basically giving birth to a high school basketball player.
Any mothers on the bus are appreciating that one right now.
He is the tallest animal in the zoo,
and he towers over the top of these double decker buses.
And that's Silver right there.
- [Clintus] Two week old giraffe right there,
look at him.
Six feet tall.
- [Sierra] He's about your height.
- [Monica] See her right there?
That's because she's still losing her baby fur
just a little bit there at the back of her neck.
- We are like in the rain forest.
Look at this.
Surrounded by trees,
is that a lizard?
What is that, oh, it's a bird.
(chuckles)
Kids trying to figure out where we're going next.
On the hunt.
Some big animals.
Every time I go inside an aviary,
I feel like Jurassic Park with the pterodactyls.
The pterodactyl aviary?
The same fence, the same like all the way up fence.
(laughs)
Doesn't it?
Reminds you of like Jurassic Park.
Oh, look at that!
What's up, dude?
(water rushing)
- [Voiceover] Yeah, he acts like you.
Yeah.
(laughter)
- [Child] I see a baby one!
- [Clintus] There's some weird-looking ones, huh?
They got like long hair?
- [Child] Look at the baby one!
- [Clintus] Whoa!
All right, so what's the one animal
you're looking forward to seeing?
- Gorillas.
- Gorillas. How come?
- Well, I want to see different types of monkeys.
And gorillas are one of them.
- One of them,
kind of an animal mammal?
Mhmmm.
- I've never really seen those in a zoo before.
- [Clintus] Yeah,
I don't think we have gorillas in Phoenix.
He's sticking his butt up against the glass.
(laughter)
- [Child 2] It's raining lettuce! Raining!
(laughter)
- [Woman] Where's he going?
- [Clintus] How wide he is compared to you.
(laughs)
(growls)
(laughs)
- [Voiceover] Insects.
- [Clintus] Hercules beetle. Look at that.
Look at its jaws.
- [Bryce] Where's the stick?
- [Clintus] Over. Look at him.
- [Bryce] What are these?
- [Clintus] They're all over, look.
- [Bryce] Ooh, are those spiders?
(mumbling)
- [Clintus] Look at those guys right here.
- [Tiffany] There's little potato bug looking things
right there, see?
- [Clintus] See right there?
- [Bryce] This is a Derby's flower beetle.
- [Clintus] Big one.
- [Tiffany] He's hanging.
- [Bryce] Look at this, look at this!
Daddy, where is that little branch?
- [Clintus] I'm not sure.
- [Bryce] Where are the cameras coming from?
Those caves.
How do they get into those?
- [Clintus] Through the holes in the mounds.
Why's it gross?
- [Bryce] There's a lot of them.
- [Clintus] Why's it gross?
- [Bryce] I don't know.
- [Clintus] Look how big he is.
- [Sierra] How does he eat a small mammal?
- [Clintus] Look how big he is compared to my hand.
(children shouting)
- [Bryce] And chicks!
- [Brodie] They're ducklings.
- [Voiceover] Ducklings.
(water rushing)
- [Sierra] Outside of Yellowstone Park.
- [Clintus] Grizzly bears, huh?
I see one there, where'd the other one go?
Oh, she's inside.
- [Voiceover] Jump in the water, buddy!
(water rushing)
- [Clintus] What are we in line for, Sierra?
- Pandas.
- [Clintus] Pandas?
Why is there a line for pandas?
- Because you can't see them anywhere else.
- [Clintus] Yeah, we'll have to find out
exactly where other pandas are,
but someone said it's really super rare
to have pandas, right?
Wow, look at her.
Do you see her?
She's so fluffy!
Peekaboo.
We see you!
Look at her, that's awesome.
- [Voiceover] Now, as you folks come through,
please do keep those voices down as quiet as possible
so treat this like a library.
And make sure no music as you come through today.
Habitat was in destruction,
so they are from southwestern China.
- [Voiceover] A youngster.
- [Bryce] It looks like people.
- [Clintus] He's got a little chair, he's chilling.
- [Voiceover] The way he's just lying down.
- [Clintus] Mhmmm.
See Bryce, he's just eating the whole thing.
And all bamboo.
- [Voiceover] They are naturally solitary,
so they like to live on their own.
In the wild they have their own territories.
This is because giant pandas never went to kindergarten
and they don't like to share.
Giant pandas can eat 23 to 36 pounds of bamboo
every single day.
Now because they eat so much bamboo,
if they lived together in groups,
they would run out of food.
So that's why they spread out
and they have their own territories,
their own space.
- Or we could turn around and go right back the way we came,
and go out.
- Yeah.
(birds chirping)
- How do you drive?
How do you drive?
There's no steering wheel.
- [Clintus] So this is what it feels like
to be in a helicopter.
Minus all the instruments.
You don't have any controls, but you know.
- No, we have this one.
- [Clintus] That's what it feels like, though.
That's a real helicopter.
No polar bears, oh no!
(grunts)
You guys ready?
- Mhmmm.
- [Clintus] Sky-high, over the San Diego Zoo!
Not yet.
(hoots)
Oh, jeez!
- It's a little rough going.
- [Clintus] Whoo!
Over the zoo.
Over the forest.
All the animals.
- [Bryce] How tall are those trees?
- [Clintus] There's downtown San Diego.
Yup.
(wind blowing)
Above the treetops, I love this.
Love it.
- [Bryce] Dad, there's a duck on top of the thing.
- Well guys, we made our way back to the beach house,
what a great time at the San Diego Zoo.
The animals are amazing,
you see things we just don't see in Phoenix.
We have two zoos there that we visit frequently,
and it's pretty awesome to see those type of animals.
The gorillas were just amazing,
the size of them,
and of course the pandas were adorable.
And like I said, we had to look up
and figure out what the limitations are,
but like the only place you can find pandas around here
is there at the San Diego Zoo, so.
Quite an attraction.
Whatcha doing?
- Drawing.
- [Clintus] Drawing Uncle Jack?
- Mhmmm.
- [Clintus] Look at that!
(laughs)
It looks good, I like it.
- I've drawn two other things too.
I've drawn bubble guppies for Victoria,
because of her birthday.
- [Clintus] Oh yeah.
Yup.
- And...
- [Clintus] Very nice. The artist.
And what are you boys doing?
- Magic tricks.
- He's showing me a magic trick.
- [Clintus] Magic tricks?
All right, so Bryce is working on some dominoes again.
He's trying to make a little,
what do you call this thing?
Like, domino maze?
Little domino action goes all around the table.
We're going to try and go all the way around.
See if we have enough.
I think we have enough.
We might have to like spread it around a little bit,
but I think we got enough.
It's like your second or third time doing this, huh?
(laughs)
- You knocked it over once.
- [Clintus] I did knock it over once,
and I'm sorry, that's why I'm helping you.
- And then you stopped it.
- [Clintus] I'm helping you fix it.
Oh, you did that, you did that!
(laughs)
You did that!
- I touched it.
- [Clintus] It fell over.
You just, you put it down and it fell over like that, see?
(laughs)
Hey, at least you know it works.
And that's our day.
Thanks so much for watching,
be sure to give it a thumbs up if you liked it,
and we'll see you guys tomorrow
for more San Diego adventures.
Vlog on!
