Dateline: May 2, 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 our usual introduction, talking a bit about me.

We then get to our headline story for the week: my interview with Scott Newland, CEO of Sedgwick County Zoo, about the amazing work being done to save siheks, through collaborative efforts of AZA facilities and conservation partners.

We then move on to our births for the week, featuring animals from the Cheyenne Mountain Zoo, the Maryland Zoo, Australia Zoo, San Diego Zoo Safari Park, Dallas Zoo, Bronx Zoo, and Paignton Zoo. Also bonus interview content with Scott!

We say goodbye to beloved animals at ZooMontana, the St. Louis Zoo, Topeka Zoo, and the Buffalo Zoo.

The rest of our Zoo News stories feature items from the Columbus Zoo, Tierpark Schönebeck, and Chester Zoo.

Then in Conservation News we have good news for oysters, snow leopard population studies in Nepal, an interesting look at the human side of conservation, and more.

In Other News, we talk about a guy who didn't get eaten by gators. Good job, guy.
