Rossifari Zoo News 8.23.24 - The Ren and Sphen Edition featuring Ren Howell of SeaLife Sydney

Rossifari Podcast - Zoos, Aquariums, and Animal Conservation

Dateline: August 23, 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 recap of my life. I'm playing a show. Yay!
We then get into our headline story for the week, which is a tough one about an accredited facility in New Zealand that has a lot of former and current keepers speaking out about problems there.
Then it's time for births, featuring a snow leopard at the Toledo Zoo, puffins at Monterey Bay Aquarium, a new fennec fox at Idaho Falls Zoo, and the first ever okapi born at Yokohama Zoo!
We also say goodbye to some incredible animals. It starts with two red pandas, but then we go to Ren Howell to tell us about a truly amazing penguin that has passed away. We also say goodbye to one of the rarest animals in human care, an elephant seal at Pittsburgh Zoo and Aquarium. Other obituaries include animals at Edmonton Valley Zoo, Tulsa Zoo, and ABQ BioPark.
We then move on to our other Zoo News stories. We discuss the current viral video of a woman enticing a tiger. Then we look at the top ten zoos in the US according to Newsweek. Additional stories from Cleveland Metroparks Zoo, the Cincinnati Zoo, and the Louisville Zoo follow.
In Conservation News, we talk about a new species being protected by Aussie Ark, an oil spill in South Africa, and an incredibly innovative conservation strategy being proposed by the Smithsonian Institute.
In Other News, we talk about a cruise ship for dogs, lobsters of rare colors, and Yo-Yo Ma, as one would expect.
