Rossifari Zoo News 1.19.24 - The Avian Influenza Deep Dive Edition

Rossifari Podcast - Zoos, Aquariums, and Animal Conservation

Dateline: January 19, 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 a new red panda (when we thought it was too late for any babies), a lion cub at the Fort Worth Zoo, a pygmy hippo born in Czechia, twin Sulawesi babirusas, and a baby maned wolf!
We then go to our deaths, where we say goodbye to Japan's oldest polar bear, Snoop Log, and a touching story about a zookeeper and the giraffe he loved dearly.
We then move on to our other Zoo News stories, including a surprising update on the Natural Bridge zoo situation, how to get revenge on an ex in a very zoo-ish way, some updates on a polar bear at the Columbus Zoo, penguin parade news out of the Cincinnati Zoo, and more!
In Conservation News, I do a deep dive into H5Ni (avian influenza), talk about a lawmaker trying to save outdoor cats, share happy and sad news about North Atlantic Right Whales, and share an incredible story about rhino population growth!
HELP NAME THE OCTOPUS AT ADVENTURE AQUARIUM! We are trying to get the name "Phantom" across the finish line! https://t.co/zrHlzM6juD
