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! Check us out online at www.rossifari.com and on all social media platforms @rossifari. Support the show at patreon.com/rossifari. Check out the merch at rossifari.redbubble.com.

Rossifari Zoo News 8.14.26 - The Piranha on the Pole Edition

August 14, 2026 • Rossifari • Season 7

0:00 | 43:08

Dateline: August 14, 2026. 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 big announcement about the podcast and its future (which is bright, my friends)! Then we get to what's going on with my life, which is crazy as can be right now.

In Zoo News, we have a headline story that I just find so fascinating. Plumes is coming to the Philadelphia Zoo, and I have thoughts and feelings about it that are complex to say the least. Then we get to stories from Smithsonian's National Zoo, Zoo Montana, Espace Zoologique Saint Martin la Plaine, ZooAtlanta, Riverbanks Zoo, Oakland Zoo, The Wilds, Roger Williams Park Zoo, Buffalo Zoo, Seattle Aquarium, Capron Park Zoo, Nashville Zoo, Cincinnati Zoo, and more!

Conservation News features stories about sloths, box turtles, and a piranha.

All that plus Animal Holidays!
