Dateline: October 10, 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 some great news about Shots for Spots and Fahlo bracelets! Speaking of, if you can help with Shots for Spots, please do so here: https://kindest.com/831498-shots-for-spots
Our headline story is saying goodbye to Dr. Jane Goodall, hopefully in a way that is different than all of the other amazing tributes out there.
Then it's time for Zoo News stories from Smithsonian's National Zoo, Virginia Zoo, the Denver Zoo, Wingham Wildlife Park, the Chester Zoo, Greensboro Science Center, the Memphis Zoo, Lions Tigers & Bears, the Topeka Zoo, and Woodland Park Zoo, along with a discussion about how legislation and the closing of facilities can have unintended consequences even when the overall choice is correct.
Conservation News stories include a special Squirrel Awareness Month story, an amazing technique helping monarch butterflies, and HUGE news out of China.
And in Other News, we have an intervention.

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
