Rossifari Podcast - Zoos, Aquariums, and Animal Conservation

The Rossifari Podcast brings my love of zoos, aquariums, rescues, and rehab facilities to you! Each episode features an interview with someone who works at one of these facilities. We talk about different species, individual animals, conservation efforts, nutrition...all kinds of stuff. This is a podcast suitable for all ages, but we will discuss topics like mating behaviors and euthanasia. If you're a fan of zoos, or have ever wondered what exactly a zookeeper does, how aquariums manage to keep all that water so clean, or just want to hear a bunch of amazing stories about incredible animals, and the people that take care of them, this is the podcast for you!

Rossifari Zoo News 8.16.24 - The Killing In The Name of (Conservation) Edition!

August 16, 2024 • Rossifari • Season 5

Dateline: August 16, 2024. Rossifari Zoo News is back with a round up of the latest news in the world of zoos, aquariums, conservation, and animal weirdness!

We start off with a quick recap of what's going on in my life, including some viral video stuff. Who doesn't love discussing download numbers again? We also talk about Miles' birthday and how I hurt myself.

We then get into our births for the week including so many red panda cubs, weedy seadragon fry at Columbus, a new Nyala named Peach at the Toledo Zoo, a baby bongo at Milwaukee County Zoo, a penguin hatching at Jacksonville, Some Pig(s) at Beardsley Zoo, two patas monkeys at the Rosamond Gifford Zoo, and so many more!

We also say goodbye to some incredible animals including an incredible sheep (no, really) at Zoo Atlanta, a rascal of an otter at the Buffalo Zoo, two losses at the Cincinnati Zoo, a moose at the Toronto Zoo, an elephant at Point Defiance, one of the oldest red wolves in the world, and more.

We then move on to our other Zoo News stories. We start off with some gorilla movement taking place at Woodland Park Zoo, the Philadelphia Zoo, and others, and why these stories matter so much. We also do a deep dive that comes from an orangutan trying to learn to breastfeed from human mothers. We then talk about pangolins at Brookfield Zoo, new artwork at the London Zoo, and so much more.

In Conservation News, we talk about a rediscovery that is leading to desperate breeding efforts to save a species, the Florida Python Challenge, and a reintroduction in Australia that helps put the Python Challenge into context.

In Other News, we talk about a bear that can read (maybe) and singing gorillas.
