Rossifari Zoo News 4.5.24 - The Goodbye Luna Edition

Rossifari Podcast - Zoos, Aquariums, and Animal Conservation

Dateline: April 5, 2024. Rossifari Zoo News is back with a round up of the latest news in the world of zoos, aquariums, conservation, and animal weirdness!
Our Headline Story of the Week is a deep dive into AI art, animals, and the temptation of zoos and other conservation organizations to start using this art...and what I think about that.
We say goodbye to some beloved animals headlined by Luna, the oldest red panda in North America, known as the queen of red pandas. We also say goodbye to animals at Lincoln Park Zoo, the Louisville Zoo, the North Carolina Zoo, and Zoo Boise.
We then move on to our births for the week, which include exciting additions at Zoo Tampa, the Philadelphia Zoo, Beardsley Zoo, Whipsnade Zoo, Adventure Aquarium, Cheyenne Mountain Zoo, and the Oakland Zoo
We then move on to our other Zoo News stories, discussing April Fool's jokes played by zoos on their social media pages, what zoos recently lost their bid for accreditation with the AZA, an amazing study about giraffe blood between Cheyenne Mountain Zoo and Brookfield Zoo, a big win for the Aquarium of Niagara, and so much more!
In Conservation News, we talk about a hunting trophy ban causing trouble, Avian Influenza spreading to different species, the largest urban wildlife crossing ever, and the rewinding of a cheetah!
In Other News, we have a follow up about Albert the alligator!
