Dateline: August 2, 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 cool story about my "real" job and my this job having a moment together. 

We then get into our births for the week including an important peacock, two of the smallest monkeys, a puggle at Brookfield, a Sumatran tiger cub at the Louisville Zoo, six new hornbills at the North Carolina Zoo, a new penguin at Detroit, and more! 

We also say goodbye to some incredible animals including a baby sloth at Roger Williams Park Zoo, Kipenzi the giraffe at Seneca Park Zoo, a beloved camel at Edmonton Valley Zoo, a harbor seal at Henry Vilas Zoo, an absolutely legendary chimpanzee at the Chester Zoo, and more. 
 
We then move on to our other Zoo News stories.  We talk about a pregnancy update for Isla the tamandua, a new exhibit at Riverbanks Zoo, an important record at the Los Angeles Zoo, more on the strike at Zoo de Granby, and the retirement of two legends...one at Beardsley Zoo and one at Zoo New England. Oh, and we also announce new chickens. 

In Conservation News, we talk about a spade-tooth whale carcass washing up on shore and why that is so important, how a mega den of rattlesnakes may help change public perception of the species, exciting news about Siamese crocodiles, a new docu-series we all may want to avoid, and exciting sea turtle news! 

In Other News, we talk about cocaine sharks and the return of a thieving otter. Ya know, the usual.
