Rossifari Podcast - Zoos, Aquariums, and Animal Conservation

Dateline: December 13, 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 the usual updates from my life, including a review of the Wicked movie.
Our headline story this week looks at the current situation facing the SeaQuest brand of aquariums. It's not good, y'all.
We then move on to our births section, including stories from the Colchester Zoo, Reid Park Zoo, the Central Park Zoo, and the Bronx Zoo.
We also say goodbye to some incredible animals from the Cincinnati Zoo, Milwaukee County Zoo, ABQ BioPark, Zoo New England, and the Kansas City Zoo.
We then move on to our other Zoo News stories. This episode features stories including a huge announcement from the AZA about the success of SAFE programs, and additional stories from the San Antonio Zoo, Zoo Pitesti, the San Francisco Zoo, the Chattanooga Zoo, Zoos Victoria, the Jacksonville Zoo, and how Spotify Wrapped applies to zoos and aquariums.
In Conservation News, we share about the reintroduction of Persian Onagers, the ways animals may be working on avoiding human-animal conflict, a disease affecting lorikeets and flying foxes, a new right whale calf, and a discussion about the monarch butterfly.
