level. Get it in the description or at vulca.com. >> I would say I'm most excited to see the polar bears. The animal I'm most excited to see is definitely the rhino. Like, I know I've seen it already, but it's just such a cool animal. When you see it, you'll know what I mean. But apparently, this zoo is like super big. So, it's kind of going to be a little bit of a hike today. A little bit of a workout. But that's okay. You need some exercise, don't you? >> I definitely need all that cookies that you've been feeding me. But no, I think the guy who's most excited to walk is the guy behind the camera on it. >> Looks like there are baby hippos, dude. 150 m. >> You remember that hippo that went viral? Which one? >> The Thai Tik Tok. It's called Mudang. Like a baby pippo. Like one of those. A pygmy hippo. >> I never seen that. >> The only famous animal I remember is Harambe. >> Oh yeah. Harambe. Harambe was like this uh gorilla. I believe Harambe was a silverback gorilla in like 2015 2016. It's actually a pretty sad story about Harambe. I'll just tell it to you quickly. There was a little kid that fell into the uh gorilla enclosure. And then Harambe, which was the silverback gorilla's name, took the little kid and was like kind of like petting him, playing with him, I believe. And uh yeah, like the kid wasn't really hurt bad. The kid didn't die, but they ended up putting down the silver bath gorilla. That just means they ended up the silverback gorilla because of that. And a lot of people were mad and upset. They were mad at the parents for not watching their kid. They were mad at the zoo for, you know, killing this animal. So, it was pretty sad, but RIP Harambe. It was, it became like a huge meme and huge everything. But here we have uh flamingos. They're supposed to be pink. I learned this when I was in uh the Galapagos Islands. You want to know why they're pink and why these ones currently aren't pink? >> Honestly, I have no idea. No. >> These ones are like kind of pink. But the reason pink flamingos get so pink is because of their diet. They eat like these very tiny like shrimp that have this like certain uh certain thing in them, like this certain type of pigmentation that I forget what it's called. Like if I get the actual name, I'll put it on screen. But they eat that and it turns them like pink. And the more they eat it, it turns them pink. And uh that's why they're pink. And that's why these ones probably aren't too pink because they don't have the same diet. And those shrimp live in like the shallow water that they swim in. >> Okay. >> And in the mud. That's why they get it. And uh when I was in Galapicos, our guy, >> maybe you should say where where that island is. >> Yeah. The Galopagos is like a archipelago uh part of uh Ecuador. So it's off the coast of Ecuador. And it's like people say one of the most like beautiful and natural places in the world. It's really like preserved in time. It's a really cool place to see because the islands are like so young and still getting formed. So, a lot of the islands are just like volcanic rock. Like I saw some islands that the whole island is just like volcanic rock. It's crazy. But let's continue on to the baby hippos. If you could be any animal for a day, what would you be? Which animal? >> I would be a panda. No, honestly, probably a bird. I love flying. I love being in the skies. When I see an airplane, I just go like that. Maybe an eagle. So, I could fly up the mountains. the lakes get that feeling. So yeah, I would choose that. >> I was going to say something similar. I would either be a bird or a fish. >> Why a fish? >> Cuz a fish is like the same thing. Like any land animal is kind of boring cuz you can experience that >> as a human. But a fish, like imagine being like a deep underwater fish and just swimming. But also you could kind of swim as a human and you could go scuba diving. But flying, I think flying is like Yeah, you could go paragliding. >> Yeah, but unless you're a ripple guy, you can't really do that. So, >> so I think I would also be a bird and I would just be whatever the bird is that could fly the highest, fastest, and strongest. >> An eagle, >> which I think is an eagle. >> Eagle in the Canadian Rockies. >> No, it's the falcon. >> Falcon. >> Falcon. >> What would you guys be if you could be any animal for a day? Let me know in the comments. Now, let's go see the hippo. Hopefully, we can see the baby hippo from here. This the full name is hippopotamus, as you can see over there, but we normally just say hippo just for short. Oh, you know hippos are some of the most dangerous animals in the world. Did you know that? Have you ever seen like >> No, this is the first time I see a hippo. >> Oh man, dude. Look at Oh my gosh. >> They kind of smell like dookies, though. >> Well, dude, its face is so weird, isn't it? >> Have you ever seen that video of like a hippo skeleton? >> No. >> Like, it looks so crazy. There's this video of it where they recreate a hippo from its skeleton like they would a dinosaur, and it looks like the craziest animal you've ever seen. He's got giant fangs and stuff, but when you actually look at it, it's just like a round almost like pig-like creature. >> Oh, no. But these things are apparently one of the most dangerous animals in Africa or in the world because they can run really fast. They can swim incredibly. Actually, they don't swim. I could be wrong, but apparently they go to the bottom of the water and they run along the water. Like they run along the bottom and then they're like fast though. They're super fast. They probably swim too. But if you could see their feet, their feet don't really look webbed like they're meant to swim. But uh >> but you would think they would float. No, they're kind of >> Yeah. Well, I guess that's what I heard. Pretty sure they go down and then run along the water and then they come up. But they do float obviously, but uh they're just like crazy animals and their bite force is so strong and they look so like peaceful and calm. Like look at them, dude. They're just like chilling in the water. But dude, they could actually kill you like crazy. So that hippo just Look at that one. Look. Look at it. >> Yeah, they want to be >> Look at this one, bro. Look right here. Oh, I think they're asking for food, man. >> You could buy food right there. You see they got bananas. >> Look at Look at the size of those teeth, dude. Those are insane. >> Well, I've seen them crush like watermelon in like one bite. >> That's definitely a scary animal. What is your most irrational animal or insect fear? I have to go with insects. And the insect I'm going to go with is cockroaches. I know they're not going to do any damage or anything, but I don't know. For some reason, if I see them, I'm like, I can't be here anymore. But it's only when I see them in my room. If I see them fly, there's no way out cuz they could come get you anywhere. >> Literally. >> What's yours? >> I agree. Like for me, I associate cockroaches with just like dirty like filth and like also like infection and diseases. Like so when you see one on the street like by the sewage, it's like okay. Yeah. But when you see one in your room, it's like no. Especially if it's like a hotel room and you're staying there for like a night and then a cockroach comes out, it's like oh >> I don't like cockroaches. For me, I'll choose an animal like similar to what you said, kind of like that filthy, gross kind of that type of animal. And for me, it's a rat. I just think they're like like dirty, like I feel like they bite you one time and like you're going to get a disease and just die the next day. Specifically, the rats in New York City, dude. But those rats, I think, are different. Those are like some like steroid rats. >> Yeah. For me, >> for me, dude, rats. Cuz we live in Alberta, which is one of the only places in the world with no rats. You just put like mouse traps out and then it's fine. But literally, look right here, dude. We found the giraffes. Dude, seeing these animals up close, I don't think I've ever seen a giraffe >> in my life. Have you? >> I don't think so, >> dude. Seeing this animal up close, they don't even look like real. >> But I thought they'd be bigger. >> Like, how does this even evolve? >> There's a baby over there, like a baby giraffe. >> But like, just think about how interesting this animal is. It's like a horse that grew a really long neck and really long legs and then like two horns. Is that a fact or are you just >> I'm just like comparing it. Like I guess we live in Canada where you don't have any like of these exotic animals, but just seeing them is honestly like wow. >> Honestly, even bears >> and honestly it's not even that long, right? >> No, this one I think it's not too tall, but usually >> or like long like that long like lengthwise. >> So start blowing at it and see if it moves. >> Wow. That's honestly so cool. Honestly, this is super cool. And we have zebras over here. Come check it out. Oh, what's the what's this? >> Madagascar. Yeah, Madagascar. What's his name? Marty. There you go. You think one of them knows Marty? >> Maybe. >> Wow. Oh, and look at the baby giraffe. >> But like overall, you can see how they're all kind of separated like >> Yeah. >> zebras together. >> Cuz I mean, the zebras can't reach that food. And I guess they eat different type of food. >> But the pronged horn, we'll call them, is eating the food that the giraffe is dropping. >> But these guys are probably used to living together. Like I guess even in nature you get the zebras and then those guys living together like by nature. So >> it'd be interesting to know what these animals think or if they even think or all they think is just eat, sleep, drink, poop. >> Well, they probably haven't seen much in life. They've just been here. So, but do you think they learned to coexist by nature or nurture >> here? >> Yeah, >> probably both because they're all herbivores and like really not violent and they're not predators. These are like prey. they could live peacefully and not like fear getting eaten. And I mean it is the zoo. Let's keep going. We still have to see the rhino. That's going to be my >> honestly. I feel like these animals here are an average smaller than what you would see them in like real nature. >> Yeah, most likely. Or hm like here they could really grow with like non-stop without like fear of predators. So they could just eat all day. So maybe here they'd be I don't know if they'd be bigger or just fatter. I guess it also depends on like their genes how big they're going to get. Is this going to tell us what was in there? No, just the zebra and the giraffe. >> Low key kind of heavy >> low key though. So this is the name. So none of us had that right. Holy man, they could get heavy. 900 kgs and they're big. Oh wow. Look at their horns. I was not expecting that, dude. 900 kg. >> That's more than the >> more than the zebra. I >> found an elephant is like a ton or something, right? >> Oh, dude. Elephants are more if that thing is 900. Elephants are way more easily. If you had to choose one animal that's like, you know, relatively big. So, we'll say like one animal that's at least to your waist and at least like this wide or this long. If you had to choose one animal of those dimensions that you would win in a fight, which animal would it be? If you want to learn faster, get the workbook for this video on my website.

So go to the description or my website vulcaenglish.com that you think you you would win if you had to fight it. >> Do you guys know what a coyote is? So in Edmonton where we're from, we have a lot of coyotes there which is actually a problem now cuz they eat our dogs and cats or any pets that we have >> and any like small farm animals too like chickens even like maybe sheep and goats, they'll eat them too especially like they hunt in packs. So >> yeah. >> Yeah. >> So a lot of the times you see them at night or just in the streets anytime honestly >> in the city. >> Yeah. Yeah, in Edmonton. I'd see them outside my house. Like when I'm walking my dog. Yeah. >> No, I thought you were talking about like in general like >> I've seen them outside my house. I've seen them in Kinsman. Usually you see just one on the street, but if you're like in the trails, then you see like multiple of them. >> Have they attacked people? >> Not people, but they have attacked dogs. >> Yeah, cuz I know like Edmonton has like a lot of like like forest and also like the river the river valley like the trails are like kind of in the woods. So, >> but I feel like I could beat them in a fight. >> Yeah. This is what a coyote looks like, but it is really like kind of like at the knees. It's like a small >> Some of them rat. Some of them do get bigger, but they're like a small like scruffy dog. Yeah. No, I'll give you that. >> Unless it bites you, then then you're in >> cuz then it might give you like rabies. I don't know. >> I would never fight this animal. But if I had to choose one to beat in a fight, it would be a giant tortoise. >> A giant what? >> Giant tortoise. Cuz those things can get like this big or bigger. Huge. Hundreds of pounds. But they move so slow and they're also like herbivores and non-aggressive. They're from the Gopicos Islands or there there are a lot of species in the Gopos Islands. That one easily. >> So would you just run away or like do you actually >> Well, it was like a fight to the death like like I don't want to but we're just talking hypothetically. That one I feel like easy easy win honestly. But there I can see the panda sign but unfortunately no pandas today. But you can see the map over here of this whole thing. So we'll go up to the map. We'll see where we've gone and what we need to do. Oh, kangaroo. Look like we missed that. >> Africa zone. So far, we've just hit the hippopotamus and African animals. Dude, this thing is huge. Okay, so we still got a lot to see. So, this animal here is an ostrich and it is the biggest bird in the world, but it can't fly because I guess it evolved to not need to fly because it could just get all its food from the ground. It is the biggest bird, but it can't fly. And actually, I've tried ostrich meat in South Africa because there are so many ostriches in South Africa and they have ostrich farms and it's like the meat is like really like dry in my opinion. Like dry and sandy. It's not really a good meat in my opinion, but I mean if you want to try it, you can try it. In my opinion, it does not taste like chicken. Let's go with tiger. If you were a tiger, which one would you be? Very thin, underweight, ideal, overweight, or obese? >> Okay, take a video of this and then take a video of this. You guys put it in the comments, bro. >> Okay. So, he would be ideal. >> Okay. Where would you put Leon? >> I'd say jacked >> if I put myself here. Feel like I would go ideal, too. Like maybe a little bit more here. Not really ideal, but like >> more ideal than not. >> And that's okay. >> That is okay. Leon, where would you put yourself >> for this guy? Goes Leon. Where would you put yourself? >> I'd put myself as a lion. >> No, no. Like, where would you put yourself? >> I'd call myself a tiger. >> Okay. So, I think we all know the answer to that. Anyways, oh, it says I'm here. Look at the pictures. This guy is good at hiding. There's a tiger in here. >> Yeah. Well, the glass is super dirty. So, >> yeah. And there's like reflection. >> I feel like the only place it could be is over there. >> I literally don't see the tiger at all. Okay. No tiger today. This I think is one of the worst animals to encounter a hyena. Cuz usually they're in packs and imagine being hunted by an animal in a pack and then they're all just laughing like you know how they laugh. They're found in Africa, but specifically this area. What's in here? >> Think of the another tiger. >> Oh, it's over there. >> Is it? >> Yeah. >> Oh, yeah. I see it. Oh, there's a hyena. >> Hyena. >> Bro, that's a sad life, though. This guy's just living alone in this. I doubt he's going to attack anyone next. >> You think there are lazy animals just like there are lazy humans? Imagine if they if you're a lazy animal and they put you here and you could just be lazy all day, not having to hunt. >> Yeah, but I feel like they put you here and then you become lazy. Like this guy probably wasn't lazy when he was born out. He just moved. Oh, that guy's sleeping right now. >> Yeah. Do you think these animals are bored or? >> Yeah, 100%. You don't think so? >> I agree. Do you think they're happy? >> No. >> No. >> But what do you think about supporting the zoos? Buying tickets and then going to a zoo? Huh? Would you be supporting them? >> It depends cuz sometimes zoos get these animals that can't survive on their own in the wild because they're injured, they're hurt, or they lost their parents. So they had to raise it and then once you're raised in a zoo, you can't be put back into the wild easily. They just keep them in a zoo. It could be good. But if they take animals that couldn't survive alone and that don't really need to be in a zoo and they take it and just put it like put them on a show just for people just to make money. Yeah, that's not good. But I believe this zoo does take care of animals and that's why it's good. What's your thoughts on that? You have a different opinion? >> No, I I think Walco covered the the amazing points as the great guy he is. He always comes up with great ideas. You see, I don't know if that's sarcasm or not, but I'll take the compliment. >> He's a good guy. He supports animals. >> Oh, you can see better from this angle. >> I support animal rights. >> I that that guy doesn't look happy, man. >> Well, he just tired. >> Like he's sleeping. >> What does he do to be tired? That's the question. >> You see that ball there, >> bro? What does my dog do to be tired? He sleeps all day. >> You see that? You see that buoy there? >> Oh, he plays with that. >> That's like his punching bag. And you see this? He has like a dock, like a ramp, and he jumps into the empty pool. And it's also the middle of the day. It's like right now. Yeah, it's almost noon. So, that's about to be the hottest time of day. So, I think animals usually rest during this time. Okay, maybe here we have lions. Let's check it. You guys answer this too in the comments or take a video of yourself answering this. Which animal would be the best bodyguard? >> Oh, wait. Okay, look at that. The black What is it? Black tiger. Did you see it? >> Black panther. >> Black panther. Yeah. Oh, wow. >> Oh, wow. >> Honestly, that looks like a good bodyguard. Look at it. Just >> It just kind of looks like a big cat. So, which animal would be the best bodyguard? >> Maybe a bear. >> Which bear? >> Grizzly bear. >> Grizzly bear. >> It's big. It's fast. >> You can see his uh like the print on him. Oh, that looks like a female, doesn't it? >> Yeah. >> Oh, wow. It kind of has that like pattern on it. I thought it would just be pure black. Wow. That's actually super cool. >> Well, you think this guy came to check us out? >> Oh, yeah. >> I think that's a girl, but >> he's pregnant. >> Dude, that literally just looks like a fat cat, man. Like a big fat cat. Okay, let's keep going. It looks like it just wants to rest over there. Dude, you would pet that like it's a cat and then it would just start attacking you. >> Well, acts like a cat. That's the thing, >> literally. Well, I mean, it is. >> It's like the same family, like felines, right? Yeah. Panther. Panther. Oh, a leopard. We were tripping, dude. It's a leopard. A black leopard. So, yeah, had the leopard print. Okay. >> Yeah, cuz it had this pattern on, but it was black. H. Anyways, back to answering the question. So Aptton said a bear would be the best bodyguard and me I would choose an eagle straight up. Or is there a third option that's even better? It's actually >> shark. >> No gorilla. >> Actually I feel like yeah I would go with a gorilla man. I could just sit on the gorilla's back be like a piggyback dude. New choice gorilla. Would you stay with your bear or go with a gorilla? >> Well if a gorilla is stronger. Yeah. Then I'm going with a gorilla. >> Like a silverback gorilla though. What do you guys think? Which would win in a fight? a grizzly bear or a silverback gorilla. Which one of the two? >> We'll never know. >> I feel like this is like a tale of like King Kong verse Godzilla minus like the atomic power. Honestly think a gorilla would win cuz I do think a gorilla is stronger and also it has like movement like hand movement. Yeah, I think maybe a bear can run faster but imagine being a bear and getting like hit in the face by a right hook from a like,000 kg silverback gorilla. I think we have to give it to gorilla. If gorillas are stronger, bite harder, and have better movement in close range, then has to be. >> That's a fat squirrel. Black giant squirrel. Holy moly. >> Oh, are these flying squirrels? >> Squirrel. >> It says right there on that picture. That's bigger than the ones you have in Edmonton, that's for sure. >> Oh, squirrel. >> It's the size of a cat. >> Yeah, >> a squirrel. >> Okay, we found the tiger. It's like It's so hard to see cuz of the glare, but it's way at the back corner there behind the bamboo, dude. And it's just like staring down. >> That thing looks like a painting on the wall. >> Literally, >> it's just >> Dude, let's try to see if we could see it better from this side. Okay, it was kind of hard to see the tiger, but at least we got to see its face a little bit, but dude, that thing is like scary. I know tigers are definitely one of like the scarier big cats, but that thing. Wow. At least we saw it, honestly. Now I just want to see the line and I'll be happy we found the line. It's literally right in the open now. Honestly, it doesn't look that big in person. >> No, I'm telling you, I think the animals here are smaller. I think tigers are more dangerous than lions though. But yeah, that's a lion, the king of the jungle. >> Let's keep going. So yeah, here you can see the white lion. He really looks like like a not really like a good lion. Usually they have like the huge like lion's mane, but here he doesn't. And he kind of has like some scars on his face. >> No, but you know, I think the difference is like eating Asian food in Europe versus eating Asian food in Asia. It's like the lions in Africa are obviously going to be more of a lion than >> Yeah. like if you go on a safari. But I like how the whole continent of Africa has lines except for like up here. Here's the female line. She's also just resting. >> But honestly, this looks like a good setup. >> This setup is a lot better than the guys. Like here, she has white noise versus three of them. >> Oh yeah. >> You think they're all married to the same lion? >> Oh yeah. Usually it's like a pack like that. Like uh one male for a bunch of females. That's why they have to fight other males all. And that's why they need their energy. Female lion. Let's go. If you had to choose, where would you live? In the city, you know, city life, urban, metropolis, or would you rather live in nature with the animals or like on a farm? What would you prefer? I would probably choose the nature. But a more realistic answer, I would probably just say a mix. Some city like Vancouver, maybe even Calgary, so close to the mountains. Or if it's Vancouver, just by the ocean, by the mountains. So something like that would be very ideal. I think that would be the ideal scenario for me. >> I do agree with Calgary. I would not live in Vancouver just because so expensive, taxes are high and the ocean is freezing cold. Anyways, if I had to live in any city in Canada, I would live in Calgary. If I had to choose between the city life or nature life, I lived on a farm my whole life, so I think I've had enough nature living for my entire life. So, I would choose city life. I like like the fast-paced, so many people, a lot of like different people you can meet every day. You could go around the city and see something new all the time. So me city life for sure and like a giant giant metropolis city like uh Seoul, Bangkok, Shanghai, like where would you guys prefer to live? In the city or on a farm in nature? What do you prefer? It doesn't have to be on a farm, but in nature or in a city? Let me know in the comments. Okay, so here are the tortoises. What are those two tortoises doing over there? Any guesses? Aptton, would you say you're faster than a tortoise or slower than a tortoise? I would say I'm faster 100%. >> Would you say you're faster or slower than a hair? >> Than a hair >> like a like a rabbit, you know, the tortoise and the hair when they raced. >> Uh, honestly, rabbits are pretty fast, I would say. Yeah. Slower than a rabbit, faster than a turtle. Feel like you expected a different answer, but I'm very logical. I only >> I don't do ifs, buts, or may absolutely. >> He's only black or white. It's good or it's bad. He Yes or no? No. Maybe. That's good. He's Is he faster than a hair? No. Is he faster than a tortoise? Yes. I'm faster than you, so I'm faster than all of them. So, yes. Let's keep going. We only have a few more animals to see here and then we'll be done. It's just this last section over here. I swam with these. It was so nice. They like swim super fast and they zoom right by you and then they swim with each other. Also, sea lions. Wow. These guys look happy. That guy kind of looks lost. Those guys up there kind of look like a lost, >> bro. Low key, they got the AC running for them. >> Yeah. Oh no, that guy looks like he's having a good time. Penguins. >> Oh, you think they were going to jump? They could jump out. >> Did you know, fun fact? Oh, they're fighting. Did you know that uh penguins only ever mate in their entire lifetime with one partner? So, if they die, then they'll they'll never ever get another partner again. So, penguins mate for life, which is different than a lot of other animals. What? >> Guess someone's jealous, >> bro. Smells like fish, though. >> Oh, what do you think they eat? >> They eat fish. >> Oh, yeah. A leopard seal. Killer whale. Yeah, leopard seals are like a big, you know, killer of penguins. And I know that from uh what's that movie? Happy Feet. Have you watched that? Happy Leopard Seal. Killer whales as well. Didn't Happy Feet have a song that was famous?
