Rossifari Podcast - Zoos, Aquariums, and Animal Conservation

Today, the Safari continues on our journey through California with a stop at the Gibbon Conservation Center! This is an incredible conservation facility dedicated to the conservation of gibbons (hence the name!). I talk with Gabi Skollar, the director of the facility, about her incredible journey from Hungary to California, how a chance encounter led to a life dedicated to gibbons, and about so many of the amazing animals that live at the center.  We also have an incredible discussion bout gibbon song, which is way more complex than I could have ever imagined!

Today, the Safari heads back to Camden, NJ, for Part 2 of our five part sit-down with the staff of Adventure Aquarium! And this time, we are here to celebrate Penguin Awareness Month! An entire month of being aware of penguins, and what we can do to help them! And it all starts by learning about the two colonies of penguins that call Adventure Aquarium home.  Mary Elizabeth is known as the "Penguin Mama" at the aquarium, and it's a role she takes very seriously! This is an episode filled with a  ton of laughs, though! Waddle over to the play button and dive on in, friends!

Today, the Safari heads back to California, to Avian Behavior International in sunny Escondido! I talk to Hillary Hankey, the owner of this one-of-a-kind facility and renowned bird trainer.  We talk about some of the birds in her flock, gender norms in the animal world, leadership and training (of people and animals), and all kinds of wild stuff.  You'll also get to hear about Hillary's jump into the world of free flying birds, and share in my awe at the free flight macaw experience I got to have with her and the rest of the team at ABI!
