Dateline: October 4, 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

We then get to our headline story, looking at the effects of Hurricane Helene, especially on zoological facilities.  Three places are going to be shut down for a long time because of the storm, and more had to close for a day or a few days, so we get into that.

We then move on to our births section, including a new red panda at Edinburgh Zoo, a mountain bongo at Marwell Zoo, an aardvark at the San Diego Zoo Safari Park, a new GLT at RWPZ, some Komodo's at Nashville, and more!

We also say goodbye to some incredible animals. We start off with a tree kangaroo that meant a lot to me, a bison at Lehigh Valley Zoo, a rhino at the Phoenix Zoo, a young dolphin at Shedd, and more.
 
We then move on to our other Zoo News stories.  This episode features stories from the Bronx Zoo, Greensboro Science Center, the accreditation hearings at the AZA Conference, and a look at Moo Deng and Pesto the penguin.

In Conservation News, we talk about a horrible thing that happened to some sea turtle nests, the rediscovery of a species thought lost, the reintroduction of a very endangered tiger species to a part of its original range, Australia's first Marsupial of the Year, and more.

In Other News, I give you a non-news fact about tree kangaroos.  You're welcome.
