    Love this

    More more more. Season 3 pretty please

    So great can get to see the inside look of the Bronx zoo that the general public would never be able to have access too. So cool to watch how they care and help the animals.

    Best show EVER!

    I love Bill, Kathleen and all the other wonderful people who work for the Wildlife Conservation Society to keep zoo animals happy and conserve endangered species! They are amazing! When I was there Kathleen took the time to talk to me about what she does. What a wonderful person!

    Women talk to animals with whiny high pitch voices and they have Munchausen by proxy always operating on them

    This shows are probably sponsored by Pfizer I swear they are always injecting animals with all kind of synthetic chemicals and other garbage and then they are stunned when the animals die on them. News flash animals do not need veterinarian care 24/7 let them live, leave them be leave them in peace enough of your Frankenstein's experiments. Always darting and torturing the poor caged animals.

    I am convinced that these sickos have Munchausen by proxy and get off on entering the animals for entertainment but nobody is the amused except themselves.

    Also please get rid of all the women who use a high pitched, whiny annoying voice to talk to the animals. Take a class to lower your pitch if you cannot talk to an animal normally then keep it zipped.

    The editors are complete garbage and totally useless here. One woman was shown hiding wet food into the dirt been burying it with her foot; how messed up is that?! Would she like to eat that food!

    Another was shown going around the lion's enclosure hiding food which is super annoying in itself and then they had a close up on her face talking to the camera I don't care about a fat face I am interested in seeing the animals feed, after they spent all that time telling us how much fun the lion was going to have finding the food and how much footage they wasted on her showing her hiding the food, but do you think they showed that? Nope they just showed her, talking Non-Stop.

    This could be such a great show but they have the worst editors and directors ever; they are always showing stuff we don't care about like surgeries and close up on the women care talking Non-Stop, and never showing the animals feeding or very rarely; please people spend 90% of the time showing the animals, especially showing them eating food so I know you're not starving them or torturing them, and less on the people!

    Please producers learn what you've always want to watch and that is not the dumb, useless faces of the caretakers yapping Non-Stop. This is supposed to be Animal Planet this is supposed to be an animal show and we don't tune in for the people, get it through your heads.

    And tell your people to either talk like a normal adult to the animals and not with such disrespectful voices; or fire them and hire people who can. Enough of the dumb women's baby voices, you are on TV, act like a decent and proper human being. The whiny voices get a 0/10 the 5/10 is for the animals I should give it less but.

    At this point in time there's only 3 -1/2 seasons of The Zoo. Such a wonderful staff. It's obvious they all of their jobs and the animals.
