Dateline: May 24, 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 deep dive into my own experience of saying goodbye to the first animal I've actually helped take care of, an incredible penguin who lived at Aquarium of Niagara. We then get into a great interview with Dani Poirier-Larson about hand-rearing an owl chick from hatching on! We then get into our births for the week, which include exciting additions at the Toronto Zoo, Zoo Knoxville, Smithsonian's National Zoo, the San Diego Zoo, Riverbanks Zoo, Hamerton Zoo Park, Chester Zoo, and the Columbus Zoo!We say goodbye to some beloved animals at facilities including the Santa Barbara Zoo and Phoenix Zoo. We then move on to our other Zoo News stories.
