036 - Kora the Explorer with Christy Nuss of The Columbus Zoo and Aquarium

Today, the Safari takes you to one of the most famous zoos in the US, The Columbus Zoo and Aquarium! I interview Christy Nuss, a keeper in the Asia Quest section of the zoo, so you know this episode is heavily focused on the seven red pandas that currently live at Columbus.  Yes, that's right...SEVEN. RED. PANDAS. And of course, one of those pandas became a star this summer as she went missing from her habitat for two days. Christy talks me through exactly what it was like for the staff at the zoo to discover Kora was missing, try to find her, take care of her babies, and eventually reunite with their wayward panda.  Note to self: "Wayward Panda" is a great new potential band name.  I've been told this is the MOST Rossifari Rossifari episode ever.Also, if you are listening to this on the first two days of its release, I am running a fund raising effort for Red Panda Network, with some fun prizes involved.  Click here for more details:  rb.gy/cw1fnpSHOW LINKS: Follow Christy @cnuss121 on Instagram Follow the Columbus Zoo @columbuszoo www.columbuszoo.org www.redpandanetwork.org ROSSIFARI LINKS  Follow @rossifari on Instagram and Facebook www.rossifari.com www.patreon.com/rossifari to support the pod rossifari.redbubble.com for merch
