Dateline: May 31, 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 deep dive into a recent paper that was published looking at the effects of zoo and aquarium visits on attitudes and actions towards conservation.

We then get into our births and deaths for the week, shared in a new way. Please let me know what you think! 

We then move on to our other Zoo News stories. We talk about the new red pandas coming to Lehigh Valley Zoo, the new giant pandas coming to Smithsonian's National Zoo, an incredible surgery done at Milwaukee County Zoo, an update on Siku the polar bear at the Calgary Zoo, an incredible story about a flamingo, a huge upgrade happening at the Perth Zoo, impromptu conservation work at Rosamond Gifford Zoo, a look at a cool new offering from The ABMA, and so much more! 

In Conservation News, we talk about a troubling occurrence in Mexico that can be traced directly to climate change, what the NATURE Scanner means to conservation work, an incredible rediscovery of a pangolin, and Report It Week! 

In Other News, we talk about a documentary called Queer Planet, a privately owned primate not going well (shocking, I know), and Raquinho the raccoon!
