Description
Dateline: January 26, 2024. 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 with our births section, featuring alliteration in the form of cotton top tamarin triplets at Disney's Animal Kingdom, six sandbar sharks at OdySea Aquarium, and a sweet, though non-alliterative story about a lesser kudu born at the Cincinnati Zoo.  We then go to our deaths, where we share a truly sad story about a zebra and her unborn foal at The Living Desert, share about the unexpected passing of a celebrity bird at the National Aviary, discuss the loss of a snow leopard at Hogle Zoo, and say goodbye to Charolette the koala at Riverbanks Zoo. We then move on to our other Zoo News stories, including an update to the Natural Bridge Zoo story, another naming victory for the Rossifari listenership, some incredible sustainability efforts at the Cincinnati Zoo, an incredible study about lions being done at Wildlife Safari, a sad story at Zoo Boise, spider monkeys being saved from the illegal wildlife trade and given a new home at the San Diego Zoo Safari Park, two exciting stories about penguins, an update on the cursing birds that have been going viral since 2020, and more! In Conservation News, we talk about a huge breakthrough in the race to save the Northern white rhino, some cool new steps helping save red wolves in North Carolina, the effects of speed limits on Northern right whales, and the worst start to cold stunning season in quite some time, including how you can help!  In Other News, we talk about a cool tiger and the class of some Buffalo Bills fans.
