Rossifari Zoo News 1.12.24 - The Capy-Cat Connection Edition

Rossifari Podcast - Zoos, Aquariums, and Animal Conservation

Dateline: January 12, 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 with our births section, featuring two sloth bear cubs at Zoo Miami (with a Philly Zoo connection), an impala and kudu with adorable names at Caldwell Zoo, two little blue penguins at the Cincinnati Zoo, and a bongo calf at Brevard Zoo!
We then go to our deaths, where we say goodbye to a lot of incredible animals this week. We start with Penny the red panda at the Akron Zoo, then discuss the loss of an elephant at the Los Angeles Zoo, a Canada Lynx at Seneca Park Zoo, a warthog at the Columbus Zoo, a serval at the Naples Zoo, a gorilla at the Henry Doorly Zoo, and the last free roaming peacock at Point Defiance Zoo.
We then move on to our other Zoo News stories, including an incredible mixed species exhibit, free admission to health care workers at Mystic Aquarium, a panda update from Zoo Atlanta, cyber attacks on the Toronto Zoo, unrest in Papa New Guinea (and why that applies to this section), and so much more!
In Conservation News, we talk about a terrible new policy in Norway, a new Jaguar in Arizona, a new victim to H5N1, a huge success for Project Cheetah, and preparations for the Great Backyard Bird Count!
And in Other News, we talk about a sad story out of California.
