Dateline: February 2, 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 the first rockhopper penguin born at the Fort Worth Zoo, a new Colobus monkey at Sedgwick County Zoo, and a pygmy slow loris born at the Memphis Zoo!
We then go to our deaths, where we say goodbye to a gibbon at Moorpark College, a rhino at Cleveland Metroparks Zoo, a wolf at Bramble Park Zoo, a penguin at Jenkinson Aquarium, a lion at the Pueblo Zoo, and a rhino lost much too young at the Birmingham Zoo.
We then move on to our other Zoo News stories, including an update on the ongoing situation at Miami Seaquarium, a red panda exploring outside his habitat, two new animals at the Toronto Zoo, and what to expect from the Georgia Aquarium in 2024! We also do quick hits from Lone Pine Koala Sanctuary, Busch Gardens, the Denver Zoo, Brevard Zoo, and Southwick's Zoo. We then end with an update to the naked mole rat plan of succession at the National Zoo.
In Conservation News, we talk about how social media can help catch poachers, a conservation win in Colorado, a unique look at the effect of rising sea levels in New England, and discuss a newly discovered species!
In Other News, we talk about Taylor Swift, a roadside circus, and a look at a new study on same sex behaviors in mammals.
