Dateline: September 6, 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 the usual recap of my life. I'm playing a show. Yay! I almost died. Boo!

We then get into our headline story for the week. We talk about the Marsupial of the Year competition taking place in Australia right now, and how you can help Lumholtz tree kangaroos by going to www.marsupialoftheyear.com.au and voting for them! YAY!

Then it's time for births, featuring a new human, three reticulated giraffes at Tanganyika Wildlife Park, an elephant baby at Fresno Chaffee Zoo, a new pygmy hippo at the Henry Doorley Zoo, and a new red panda in Germany!

We also say goodbye to some incredible animals. We start off with a more personal post, then move on to a lion at Riverbanks Zoo, a coati at Brevard Zoo, and a gorilla at Busch Gardens Tampa.

We then move on to our other Zoo News stories. This episode features some really amazing work being done at the Memphis Zoo, National Zoo, Sedgwick County Zoo, Cincinnati Zoo, and the San Antonio Zoo! Some really amazing stuff.
