Animal Update May 21, 2026
Sunny Bear Radio Animal News Briefing
In this Sunny Bear Radio Animal News Briefing, we’re bringing you a full round of animal, rescue, wildlife, and conservation stories from close to home and around the world.
This episode includes a powerful rescue story about trafficked juvenile toucans getting a second chance at the Bronx Zoo, hopeful conservation news for North Atlantic right whales after the strongest calving season since 2009, new findings from NOAA on northern fur seal deaths linked to a harmful algal bloom in Alaska, a warning about the live primate trade happening on social media, and a worldwide conservation update from Thailand where juvenile leopard sharks are being released and monitored as part of a rewilding effort.
We also share an exciting Sunny Bear update: Sunny Bear Rescue Coffee Co. is signing new partnerships and looking forward to growing, because every step forward means more opportunities to help more pets, more families, and more communities. Around here, coffee is more than caffeine — it’s rescue fuel.
Sunny Bear Radio exists to support and promote Sunny Bear Rescue, a kennel-free, home-based animal rescue in Partlow, Virginia. Every listen, share, download, donation, coffee order, and adoption helps us keep going.
