Rossifari Podcast - Zoos, Aquariums, and Animal Conservation

The Rossifari Podcast brings my love of zoos, aquariums, rescues, and rehab facilities to you! Each episode features an interview with someone who works at one of these facilities. We talk about different species, individual animals, conservation efforts, nutrition...all kinds of stuff. This is a podcast suitable for all ages, but we will discuss topics like mating behaviors and euthanasia. If you're a fan of zoos, or have ever wondered what exactly a zookeeper does, how aquariums manage to keep all that water so clean, or just want to hear a bunch of amazing stories about incredible animals, and the people that take care of them, this is the podcast for you!

April 25, 2025 • Rossifari • Season 5

Dateline: April 4, 2025. 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 a discussion about my time spent at Tanganyika Wildlife Park this week, and go into a lot of detail about what makes this such an incredible, and incredibly unique, facility.

We then get to our headline story for the week: Two currently running polls, one for the best zoo in the country, and one for the best aquarium in the country.

We then move on to our births for the week, featuring animals from the Nashville Zoo, Point Defiance Zoo, Stone Zoo, Milwaukee County Zoo, Wrocktaw Zoo, the Bronx Zoo, and Zoo Berlin.

We say goodbye to beloved animals at Happy Hollow Park and Zoo, Chattanooga Zoo, ZooAtlanta, and Rockhampton Zoo.

The rest of our Zoo News stories feature items from the San Diego Zoo Safari Park, Nova Wild Zoo, Chester Zoo, Smithsonian's National Zoo, Mesker Park Zoo, Monterey Bay Aquarium, SeaWorld, the Oakland Zoo, Shedd Aquarium, and Roger Williams Park Zoo.

Then in Conservation News we have good news for sea turtles, a hippo tragedy, the Trump administration doing Trumpy things, and a look at an interesting situation involving koalas in Australia.

In Other News, we talk about why you never see an obese Gila monster.
