Dateline: August 22, 2025. 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 talking about the reaction to my mini Miso tribute episode. Still lots of thoughts to share. 

We then move on to our births for the week, featuring a global influx of red panda births including cubs at Manor Wildlife Park and Fota Wildlife Park. We also have non-panda births at the Denver Zoo, Jacksonville Zoo, Southwick's Zoo, and the Philadelphia Zoo.

We then say goodbye to four animals that had a huge impact on me, including ones at Lone Pine Koala Sanctuary, Henry Doorley Zoo, and the Georgia Aquarium. We also say goodbye to three animals at the San Diego Zoo and Safari Park, and to a red panda at Hogle Zoo. 

We have additional Zoo News stories from the Smithsonian, Edinburgh Zoo, Roger Williams Park Zoo, Akron Zoo, and Maryland Zoo. 

Conservation News stories include info about wind turbines, a mass die off of monarch butterflies, what is being done to save leopard sharks, and more.

And in Other News, we talk about whether you should pick up rattlesnakes or not. Spoiler alert: you shouldn't.
