Rossifari Podcast – Zoos, Aquariums, and Animal Conservation

The Rossifari Podcast brings my love of zoos, aquariums, rescues, and rehab facilities to you! Each episode features an interview with someone who works at one of these facilities. We talk about different species, individual animals, conservation efforts, nutrition…all kinds of stuff. This is a podcast suitable for all ages, but we will discuss topics like mating behaviors and euthanasia. If you’re a fan of zoos, or have ever wondered what exactly a zookeeper does, how aquariums manage to keep all that water so clean, or just want to hear a bunch of amazing stories about incredible animals, and the people that take care of them, this is the podcast for you! Check us out online at www.rossifari.com and on all social media platforms @rossifari. Support the show at patreon.com/rossifari. Check out the merch at rossifari.redbubble.com.

Show notes

Today, the Safari heads to San Diego for my honeymoon...and I bring you all along with me! First stop: The San Diego Zoo Safari Park, where I sat down with Rick Schwartz, Ambassador of the San Diego Zoo Wildlife Alliance. If you've ever seen any of the videos SDZWA puts out, or visited the social media pages of the Zoo or Safari Park, then you know exactly who Rick is. In this episode, we talk about how Rick became what he is today, and how the San Diego Zoo evolved in such a way that still puts it ahead of all other zoos in a lot of ways. We also talk about binturongs...a lot!
