Rossifari Zoo News 12.27.24 - The Duck-Billed Box Turtle Edition!

  • Summary

  • Dateline: December 27, 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 discussion of the programming for the next two weeks, then talk about the holiday special, then do an update about my life.

    Our headline story this week looks at something freaking insane. Apparently the anti-vaccination movement has made its way to dog owners and I am so over these people. Dr. Zoë Rossi weighs in!

    We then move on to our births section, including stories from Los Angeles Zoo, Bright's Zoo, Wildlife World Zoo, Colchester Zoo, and Metro Richmond Zoo.

    We also say goodbye to an incredible shark at Point Defiance Zoo and Aquarium and then discuss the tragic loss of twenty cats at the Wild Felid Advocacy Center.

    We then move on to our other Zoo News stories. We talk about the AZA's Conservation Grants Fund and what they'll be funding in 2025, some incredible conservation work done by Brevard Zoo and the Perth Zoo, and then discuss how zoos contributed to a movie that is currently in theaters.

    In Conservation News, we share about some good news for conservation in North Carolina, a baby orca, and what we have learned from the first ever dissection of a spade-toothed whale.

    In Other News, we share about the oldest crocodile in the world and about a duck-billed box turtle!
