Dateline: September 13, 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 programming note and some catching up on my life.

We start off our Zoo News section with births, featuring a new tiger at the San Diego Zoo Safari Park, a new Grivet monkey at Southwick's Zoo, six new lemurs at Duke, a baby bonobo at the Cincinnati Zoo, a little giant anteater at Beardsley Zoo, and new black tree monitors at Riverbanks Zoo.

We also say goodbye to some incredible animals. We start off with a younger red panda who passed at Happy Hollow, and also talk about an old penguin that passed at the Maryland Zoo, a wolverine that recently started living at the Columbus Zoo, another ape claimed by Shigella at Jacksonville, one of the oldest Pallas' cats in the country at Hogle Zoo, and one of the oldest Lar gibbons at Reid Park Zoo.

We then move on to our other Zoo News stories. This episode features stories from Mote Marine Lab, the Memphis Zoo, Melbourne Zoo, the Toronto Zoo, a new SAFE Program, a tiger escape in Mexico, and more.

In Conservation News, we talk about the burning of Brazil, another oil spill, the rediscovery of a lost bird, and the tale of a trout.

In Other News, we talk about Mike the tiger, a black bear at a beach, and a search and rescue otter.
