Dateline: May 23, 2025. 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 quick catch up on meeeeeeee!

Our headline story this week features three stories tied together to illustrate how easy it is for the anti-zoo movement to cause trouble online without any real reason, logic, or facts to go off of.

We then move on to our births for the week, featuring animals from ZooWorld, Idaho Falls Zoo, Rosamond Gifford Zoo, the Museum of Life and Science, Calgary Zoo, Zoo Goerlitz, the Jacksonville Zoo, Tanganyika Wildlife Park, and Port Moresby Nature Park.

We then say goodbye to animals from Mill Mountain Zoo, Ecotarium, Bergen County Zoo, and Point Defiance Zoo.

We have additional Zoo News stories from the Cincinnati Zoo, Hogle Zoo, Elmwood Park Zoo, St. Louis Zoo, Racine Zoo, and the Memphis Zoo.

Conservation News stories are about Mountain Pygmy Possums, white noise machines getting rid of bats, a new species of caterpillar, and more!

And in Other News, we go back to baseball and also talk about parrot names.

Today, the Safari heads to Kansas for our first episode from Tanganyika Wildlife Park. This experiential zoological facility is unlike anywhere else I've visited, and we dig into why that is, and into some of the amazing animals found at the park with today's guest, Jess Price. From honey badgers to primates to rhinos and giraffes, we talk a ton of animals, but we also talk about how the culture of this unique facility really sets it apart for staff and guests alike.
