Dateline: December 22, 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, a new okapi at the Cincinnati Zoo, a gentoo penguin chick at the Kansas City Zoo, a new elephant at Disney's Animal Kingdom, and two very rare lorikeets at the Chester Zoo! We also say goodbye to a red panda that was far too young, a beautiful zebra at Naples Zoo, and an incredibly special opossum at Woodland Park Zoo. We then move on to our other Zoo News stories, featuring an incredible medical procedure developed at Lincoln Park Zoo, how your Christmas tree (if you have one and if it's a live one) can help a zoo, what Maury and Denver have in common, and incredible story about ocelot conservation out of the Gladys Porter Zoo, and so much more!  In Conservation News, we talk about elephants dying because of El Niño, just how bad outdoor cats are for the world, and the reintroduction of wolves into Colorado. And in Other News, we talk about ape facial recognition and a new type of old animal!
