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!

Rossifari Zoo News 8.22.25 - The Too Many Losses Edition

August 22, 2025 • Rossifari • Season 6

Dateline: August 22, 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 talking about the reaction to my mini Miso tribute episode. Still lots of thoughts to share.

We then move on to our births for the week, featuring a global influx of red panda births including cubs at Manor Wildlife Park and Fota Wildlife Park. We also have non-panda births at the Denver Zoo, Jacksonville Zoo, Southwick's Zoo, and the Philadelphia Zoo.

We then say goodbye to four animals that had a huge impact on me, including ones at Lone Pine Koala Sanctuary, Henry Doorley Zoo, and the Georgia Aquarium. We also say goodbye to three animals at the San Diego Zoo and Safari Park, and to a red panda at Hogle Zoo.

We have additional Zoo News stories from the Smithsonian, Edinburgh Zoo, Roger Williams Park Zoo, Akron Zoo, and Maryland Zoo.

Conservation News stories include info about wind turbines, a mass die off of monarch butterflies, what is being done to save leopard sharks, and more.

And in Other News, we talk about whether you should pick up rattlesnakes or not. Spoiler alert: you shouldn't.
