Rossifari Zoo News 5.10.24 - The Yummy Fake Sea Turtle Edition!

Rossifari Podcast - Zoos, Aquariums, and Animal Conservation

Dateline: May 10, 2024. 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. The zoo, as always, did an amazing job handling it.
We then get to our births for the week, which include exciting additions at Beardsley Zoo, the Caldwell Zoo, the Staten Island Zoo, and the Lee Richardson Zoo.
We say goodbye to some beloved animals including Tonka the elephant at Zoo Knoxville, Tater Tot the paca at the Tulsa Zoo, Little Joe the gorilla at the St. Louis Zoo, Tuyaa the camel at Edmonton Valley Zoo, and a red panda named Scarlet who lived in the UK.
We then move on to our other Zoo News stories. We discuss some Mother's Day options, an incredible conservation effort from Zoos Victoria, amazing new buildings at Zoo Boise and Zoo Dresden, and a shout out to Carnival Cruise Lines?!?!?!?!?!
In Conservation News, we talk about a food company turning to conservation work, the cost of fireworks, more good news about sea turtle nesting, the death of a mountain lion, and some incredible births!
In Other News, we talk about primate medicine and the NFL Draft!
