Dateline: October 11, 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 catch up on my life - actually, there's a whole lot to chat about, y'all.

We then get to our headline story, looking at the preparations being made for Hurricane Milton.

We then move on to our births section, including a new tree kangaroo at the Santa Fe College Teaching Zoo, a tamarin at Buttonwood Park Zoo, and four bush dog pups born at Yorkshire Wildlife Park!

We also say goodbye to some incredible animals. We start off with a baby giraffe at the Abilene Zoo, then say goodbye to both the Watusi at the Virginia Zoo and a pair of lions at the Adelaide Zoo, along with some other animals.

We then move on to our other Zoo News stories. This episode features stories from the North Carolina Zoo, WNC Nature Center, the San Diego Zoo Wildlife Alliance, Seneca Park Zoo, Mote Marine Lab, Zoo Atlanta, the Rosamond Gifford Zoo, the National Zoo in DC, and more!

In Conservation News, we do a deep dive into tigers in the US, discuss a frog rediscovery, talk about a Capybara Cafe, and share one of the weirdest discoveries of a new species ever.
