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.

The World's Largest Dog with Clay Carbajal of The Abilene Zoo and The Wild Side with Clay! Oct 18, 2022

Show notes

Today, the Safari brings you an interview recorded AT the AZA Annual Conference in Baltimore, MD. I'm talking to Clay Carbajal of The Abilene Zoo and The Wild Side with Clay, a YouTube series that Clay hosts and produces! This is a really deep episode, in which we discuss Clay's career, his unique path to his current job, and his time working at SeaWorld...during the Blackfish controversy. We delve into that topic, and the magical connection to wildlife that is so essential to us as humans. We both share stories that make us cry (a Rossifari first), and you get TWO Rossifari Poop Stories! Patrons also get bonus audio in which Clay and I discuss what it's like being married to someone who works at the zoo with him!
