Rossifari Zoo News is back with a round up of the latest news in the world of zoos, aquariums, conservation, and animal weirdness!  Our Headline Story of the Week involves a new hire at the Columbus Zoo and the ridiculous backlash it received on social media.

We then move on to our other Zoo News stories.
