Dateline: August 30, 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 the usual recap of my life. I'm playing a show. Yay! 

We then get into our headline story for the week. Sea Turtle Recovery, a sea turtle hospital located at Turtle Back Zoo in New Jersey, was struck by lightning this week and suffered a fire. While all the turtles were saved by the incredible staff, the story is worth hearing and they need your help. The link to donate is: seaturtlerecovery.org . 

We also have two updates to stories from last week, including a correction.

Then it's time for births, featuring a tree kangaroo joey at Zoo Miami, a rhino at Werribee Open Range Zoo, a new muntjac at Elmwood Park Zoo, a flamingo baby at Paington Zoo with two dads, and more! 

We also say goodbye to some incredible animals. We start off with a tribute to Anchor, one of the most amazing animals I've ever seen at any facility. We also discuss multiple deaths at the Jacksonville Zoo due to a disease outbreak, and say goodbye to a snow leopard at Hogle Zoo. 
 
We then move on to our other Zoo News stories.  We have justice for the dumb tiger lady, a new exhibit at the Seattle Aquarium, dog days at the San Antonio Zoo, a sad story out of the Toledo Zoo, and some props for the Maryland Zoo. 

In Conservation News, we talk about some good duck news, how a dog is helping save orcas, how to train reintroduced birds to migrate, and an update on the South African oil spill. 

In Other News, we talk about rattlesnakes and one of the rarest animals in the world.
