Dateline: December 15, 2023. Rossifari Zoo News is back with a round up of the latest news in the world of zoos, aquariums, conservation, and animal weirdness!   In Zoo News, we start with our births, including an amazing story about African painted dogs at Potawatomi Zoo, another story about the same species at the Oklahoma City Zoo, a new rhino at the Oregon Zoo, and an adorable colobus monkey at the Memphis Zoo! We also say goodbye to an incredible old penguin at Aquarium of Niagara. We then move on to our other Zoo News stories, featuring a deep dive into the disgrace of the Natural Bridge Zoo in Virginia that came to light this week. After that, we spend some time talking about some lighter fare, including the Top Ten Zoo Lights for the year, an elephant seeming to take a selfie, how the B-52s are helping animals in human care, and so much more. In Conservation News, we talk about the reintroduction program for scimitar horned oryx and how incredibly successful it has been, and also an interesting story about river otters. And in Other News, we talk about the fact that dolphins are even cooler than we realized...and we already thought they were pretty darn cool!  TO HELP ME HELP LEHIGH VALLEY ZOO GET RED PANDAS: https://gofund.me/2f33cfbd ROSSIFARI LINKS:  www.rossifari.com  patreon.com/rossifari  @rossifari on socials  @rossifaripod on TikTok
