Dateline: July 12, 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 off with a quick reflection on my life recently, and then get to skip a headline story this week because my goodness do we have lots of births to cover!  We then get into our births for the week including red panda births at Seneca Park Zoo and Potter Park Zoo. We then get into other births including exciting new additions at the Columbus Zoo, Minnesota Zoo, Toledo Zoo, Virginia Zoo, Sydney Zoo, Denver Zoo, Tanganyika Wildlife Park, Tulsa Zoo, Welsh Mountain Zoo, Zoo Miami, Woodland Park Zoo, Bronx Zoo, Maryland Zoo, Elmwood Park Zoo, Altina Wildlife Park, Kansas City Zoo, Zoo Atlanta, Akron Zoo, and the National Zoo in Australia. I told you, it was a LOT of births! In deaths, we say goodbye to a very special frog, Bruce the bat-eared fox at the Columbus Zoo, and then dive into the EEHV issue currently ravaging the elephant population at the Dublin Zoo.  We then move on to our other Zoo News stories.  We talk about giant pandas heading to Hong Kong, an adorable friendship at the Kansas City Zoo, the closure of the Houston Zoo due to Hurricane Beryl, the Philadelphia Zoo celebrating a monumental birthday, an interesting study about pangolin births from the Taipei Zoo, a new exhibit at Maritime Aquarium, more incredible wildlife rehab from the Oakland Zoo, and more!In Conservation News, we talk about sea turtle saviors in Mexico, how Conservation Imperatives could save thousands of species, and an interesting and controversial hunt. In Other News, we talk about a capybara parade, a cat with a doctorate, and an update on the potentially stolen P-horses we discussed a few weeks ago.  ROSSIFARI LINKS:  www.rossifari.com  patreon.com/rossifari  @rossifari on socials  @rossifaripod on TikTok
