Dateline: August 21, 2026. 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 detour into some info about my drumming career y'all might find interesting. If not, skip ahead, I won't be offended. In Zoo News, we have a headline story that is a spoiler alert for two initiatives that SAFE Red Panda will be announcing soon! Let's build hype early!  Then we get to our regular Zoo News stories featuring stories from Zoo Bojnice, Zoo Planckendael, ZooParc de Beauval, Zoo Miami, Virginia Zoo, Smithsonian's National Zoo, Cleveland Metroparks Zoo, Cincinnati Zoo, Houston Zoo, Zoo New England, Calgary Zoo, Georgia Aquarium, West Midlands Safari Park, and the Nashville Zoo.  Conservation News features stories about little blue penguins, a new initiative by The Civet Project, a sea lion that got attacked by a human, and a really cool story about North American river otters.  Other News takes a look at lawsuits from a company that I really like, but don't like what they are doing right now. All that plus Animal Holidays!  ROSSIFARI LINKS:  Rossifari.com  Patreon.com/rossifari to support the pod  @rossifari on socials  @rossifaripod on TikTok  Join the Rossifari Discord:  https://discord.gg/rQSwMuetj [https://discord.gg/rQSwMuetj]
