Rossifari Zoo News 3.8.24 - The Mayor Is Lying (But Probably Not) Edition!

Rossifari Podcast - Zoos, Aquariums, and Animal Conservation

Dateline: March 8, 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 yet again open with a big headline, this time diving into the announcement that Miami Seaquarium is being evicted.
We then get back on track with our births and deaths. Births include emperor tamarin babies at the Dallas Zoo, fat tailed dunnarts at the Adelaide Zoo, chameleons at Fort Worth Zoo, some new North American river otters at the Edmonton Vally Zoo, a new elephant at the Toledo Zoo, and a porcupine at Zoo New England! We also say goodbye to an ostrich at Lehigh Valley Zoo, a Stellar sea lion at Mystic Aquarium, a gazelle at the Akron Zoo, and a very sad story about two hornbills at the Santa Fe Teaching Zoo.
We then move on to our other Zoo News stories, including the AZA removing unpaid internships from its Jobs Board, a new animal coming to the Maryland Zoo, renovations to the former giant panda habitat at the Smithsonian's National Zoo, a medical treatment performed at Woodland Park Zoo, a whale found in the wrong place by the New England Aquarium, why primate escapes are more complex to deal with than other animal escapes, an adorable raccoon story from the Toronto Zoo, and so much more!
In Conservation News, we talk about how sea otters are helping save California coastlines, a huge conservation victory in Florida, a huge and shocking illegal wildlife trafficking arrest, and more.
In Other News, we talk about the pain of a platypus sting and why the Bellagio fountains had to shut down briefly this week!
