Dieses Mal wird's besonders tierisch: André ist live vom Directors Day in den Niederlanden zugeschaltet – direkt von der Hotelveranda am Rande des Zoos. Während im Hintergrund ein Strauß gemächlich durchs Bild spaziert, schaut sogar noch eine Ente als spontaner Gast vorbei. Mehr Zoo-Atmosphäre geht kaum.

Zoos can be great places to see birds, and not just in an aviary – wild birds sometimes feel right at home in these urban green spaces. For example, Black-crowned Night Herons love nesting near bodies of water where they can catch fish, frogs, and other prey. They may find that the pond within a crocodile exhibit is also the perfect spot for a rookery! Next time you visit a zoo near you, keep an eye out for local species, too.

In today's talk, I share a controversial opinion often shared about zoos. We act like animals are miserable in a cage, but plenty of animals may potentially like being in that cage. CONQUER SHYNESS

Join Gareth and Aaron as they traverse the history of zoos! From Ancient Egypt through to the modern day, they explore how zoos went from menageries and status symbols, reserved for the rich and royal, to modern day education hubs for all with a focus on conservation. From cages to cupboards, ours is open, come on in!

Mit 26 Jahren wurde David Pruß 2021 jüngster Leiter eines Zoologischen Gartens in Deutschland und trug in Hof in Bayern Verantwortung für rund 500 Tiere. Seit Juli 2025 hat David Pruß die Leitung des Magdeburger Zoos inne. Der ist an die 20 Hektar groß und beherbergt an die 700 Tiere und 177 Arten. Im vergangenen Jahr wurde unter dem Motto „Wild, wundervoll, wegweisend“ 75jähriges Jubiläum gefeiert. Historisch machte sich der Zoo Magdeburg wegen seiner Spitzmaulnashornzucht einen Namen. Aus Artenschutz- und Naturschutzgründen sind es bis heute wichtige Tiere im Bestand des Zoos Magdeburg. Er unterstützt den Erhalt bedrohter Arten durch seine Beteiligung an Zucht- und Auswilderungsprogrammen. Mit dem „Artenschutz-Euro“ möchte er mit den Besuchern des Zoos zusammen verstärkt Artenschutzprojekte im natürlichen Lebensraum weltweit und vor Ort fördern. Künftig soll zudem verstärkt auf Citizen Conversation gesetzt werden, also Zuchtbücher für Amphibien, bei denen Zoos mit Museen und auch Privathaushalten zusammenarbeiten. Zudem ist ein Ausbau der Kooperationen mit Universitäten geplant, um den Zoo als Plattform für angewandte Artenschutzforschung zu etablieren. Der Tiermediziner, Zoologe, Tierschützer und Verhaltensforscher Bernhard Grzimek ist David Pruß ein wichtiges Vorbild. Als Forscher und als Praktiker hat er gezeigt, daß Engagement für Tiere und Umwelt immer auch ein Engagement für die kommende Generation ist, führt David Pruß aus. „Sein Vermächtnis lebt in jedem verantwortungsvollen Schritt weiter, den wir im Zoo gehen, und in meiner eigenen Überzeugung, durch Bildung, Forschung und gelebten Artenschutz etwas zum Guten zu verändern.“ Für die langfristigen Pläne von David Pruß für den Magdeburger Zoo wurden von der Stadt 300.000 Euro für eine Machbarkeitsstudie bereitgestellt. Wichtigste Themen seines Masterplans drehen sich um die Fragen der Infrastruktur: Energie, Wärme, Logistik, Futterwege. In den Sommerferien wird im Zoo Magdeburg der Internationale Tag des Naturschutzes gefeiert, mit Klang & und Kulinarik gibt es einen Abend voller Genuß im Zoo, Kinder zwischen 6 und 8 Jahren können einen Haustierführerschein machen und ältere Kinder sich auf die Spuren der Zootierhaltung begeben. Zudem wird es im August sehr emotional im Zoo Magdeburg. Die Elefantenkuh Sweni steht kurz vor der Geburt. Im Rheinland wurde David Pruß vor 31 Jahren geboren. Dort wuchs er auf. Um die zehn Jahre alt war er wohl, als er das erste Mal „Serengeti darf nicht sterben“ von Bernhard Grzimek in den Händen hielt. Mit diesem Buch und seiner Liebe zu Tieren reifte der Wunsch einmal im Zoo zu arbeiten. David Pruß studierte Veterinärmedizin in Hannover, absolvierte ein Praktikumsjahr in Thailand und wurde nach Rückkehr und noch während des Schreibens seiner Diplomarbeit im Jahr 2021 Zoo-Direktor in Hof.Moderation Julia HemmerlingRedaktion: Angelika Zapf

The Beardsley Zoo has a new face on campus. During the flash flood storm earlier this week, a Chinese goral kid was born. The birth represents an important milestone not only for Connecticut's only zoo but also for the Association of Zoos and Aquariums. Jim Wharton, Chief Executive Officer for The Beardsley Zoo, told us the story.To learn more and check events at the zoo: https://beardsleyzoo.org/Image Courtesy of the Beardsley Zoo

Przewalski-Pferde gelten als die letzten Wildpferde der Welt. In der Natur galten sie lange als ausgestorben, doch Zuchtprogramme in Zoos waren erfolgreich. Inzwischen werden die Pferde nach und nach ausgewildert – in die Steppen von Kasachstan. Jochen Steiner im Gespräch mit Tierärztin Anne Dohrmann, Zoologische Gesellschaft Frankfurt

Do zoos actually help conservation? Contribute to wildlife research? Or are they mostly to entertain people? A couple of years ago, I did a podcast interview all about zoos, and I thought this would be a great topic for my own podcast due to the complexity. It's not a straightforward answer…In fact, during the pandemic, when we were all watching The Tiger King, I did a whole blog post series on the ethics and research impacts of zoos, and these are still some of my most popular posts!Zoos were originally built purely for entertainment and were the only way most people could see an exotic animal. Placed in cement cages or concrete pits, animals were there to fascinate, but at the expense of their well-being. But as scientists and the public have learned more about animals, some zoos began to change. There are now high-quality institutions running genuine conservation science, captive breeding programs, and research on wild animal populations.But unfortunately, not all zoos have stepped up. There are still dilapidated roadside attractions where animals are locked in cement cages, might be forced to do unnatural and harmful tricks, or be bred to have a constant supply of babies for tourists to pose with for photos, and with nowhere to go once they get older. These zoos might do things that they call research, but really, this is a form of greenwashing so that they can use these small projects to justify their money-making operations from animals. On the flip side, I talk about how zoos genuinely contribute to conservation. For example, conducting real research on animals outside of their zoo population, providing genetic safety nets, and captive breeding animals like the black-footed ferret and golden lion tamarin from the brink of extinction. In this episode of the Fancy Scientist podcast, I'm going to walk you through zoos so that you can understand these differences, as well as offer some guidelines so that you can make an informed decision for yourself. I break down what separates a good zoo from a bad one, and the gray areas in between. I also address the harder question of whether zoos change people's minds. Many claim that zoos educate the public about wildlife, but just because they present information doesn't mean that people take it in or take conservation actions…Those are much harder to change. I talk about a meta-analysis of 56 studies on visitor attitudes after zoo visits, plus how zoos like Cheyenne Mountain Zoo are trying to close the gap between education and action with things like their sustainable palm oil initiative.And because this podcast is always about helping you build a wildlife career, I offer an overview of the different kinds of roles that you can obtain for employment, as well as my own behind-the-scenes experience, where I monitored elephant pregnancy hormones and worked on reproductive research for cotton-top tamarins.You'll get a rundown of the career paths zoos actually offer: zookeeping, education, communications, research, and creative roles like videography, plus wildlife-adjacent jobs in finance, fundraising, and law. I also explain what kinds of zoo work won't help your wildlife career, no matter how much hands-on animal experience it seems to offer.Specifically, we talk about:The history of zoos, and how they evolved from pure entertainment into institutions that can contribute to research, education, and conservationThe clear signs that separate an ethical zoo from an unethical one including enrichment, keeper barriers, and whether the public is allowed to touch wild animalsWhy Tiger King-style roadside zoos like Myrtle Beach Safari don't count as real conservation work, and how to spot greenwashing when a zoo claims to "support conservation"Why zoo populations serve as a safety net for species with critically small wild populationsReal conservation success stories through captive breeding, including golden lion tamarins and black-footed ferretsThe behind-the-scenes research zoos do that visitors never see, including my own experience monitoring elephant hormones as a Disney's Animal Kingdom internWhether zoos actually succeed at changing visitor attitudes and behavior toward conservation, and what the research saysThe strongest arguments against zoosAn overview of wildlife career paths at zoos: zookeeping, education, communications, research, creative and media roles, and wildlife-adjacent careers like finance, fundraising, and lawAnd MORE!Jump links:1:52 Tiger King during COVID4:59 History of zoos: from pure entertainment to modern standards7:28 Roadside zoos & Tiger King-style operations8:08 Signs of an ethical zoo: no touching wild animals, enrichment, barriers13:00 Captive breeding & maintaining genetic diversity15:10 Reintroduction programs & minimizing human contact16:37 Personal experience at Disney's Animal Kingdom (elephant endocrine research)20:31 Zoos & education: Do they change attitudes toward wildlife?23:47 The argument against zoos25:49 AZA accreditation & evolving zoo standards27:56 Careers in zoos overview33:02 Outro & upcoming free training: The Four Faux PawsDream of being a wildlife biologist, zoologist, conservation biologist, or ecologist?

This week on Without A Country, Corinne Fisher looks into the growing controversy surrounding Maine Senate candidate Graham Platner, including resurfaced comments, allegations throwing his campaign into crisis (he suspended his campaign moments after this livestream ended), and what it means for Democrats trying to flip a crucial Senate seat. She also unpacks the bizarre rumors surrounding Mitch McConnell's health and the viral speculation over whether the longtime Republican leader is dead, brain dead, or simply recovering from a medical emergency. Corinne then examines the mysterious case of Nolan Wells, the young Black man who disappeared during a trip with friends in Mississippi, a story that has sparked national outrage and demands for answers.

Erna Walraven was one of the first female zookeepers to work at Sydney's Taronga Zoo in the 1980s. She ignored practical jokes from her male colleagues, like animal dung in her gumboots, and this led to career highlights like travelling the globe to select the zoo's next gorilla patriarch. (R)Erna was born in The Netherlands, to parents who were involved in the Dutch resistance during World War II.Erna's love of languages took her to Spain, where she lived for many years with her widowed sister and young nephew.It was there she met a penniless Australian backpacker and fell in love, starting Erna on the path to the rest of her life.Further informationOriginally broadcast May 2025.Hear Me Roar was published by Affirm Press in 2025.This episode was produced by Alice Moldovan.

The London Zoo will open a hospital where people can watch vets treat animals — from checkups to post-mortems. Zoo consultant Sarah Spooner says that kind of public engagement helps boost conservation and helps zoos stay relevant. But environmental author Emma Marris says zoos can't justify the harm they do to animals and we've outgrown them, even if we don't realize it yet.

Teuer, verzögert, umstritten: In der Schweiz stocken Digitalprojekte oft. Jetzt plant der Bund eine neue Gesundheitsplattform zum Datenaustausch. Fachleute warnen: Ohne besseren Datenschutz droht auch dieses Vorhaben zu scheitern. Weitere Themen: Steigende Preise für Dünger treffen nun auch die Schweizer Landwirtschaft. Noch zehren viele Betriebe von Vorräten, doch Nachkäufe werden spürbar teurer, so der Agrarkonzern Fenaco an seiner Jahresmedienkonferenz. Bergbongos sind extrem selten: Weniger als hundert dieser Waldantilopen leben noch frei am Mount Kenia. Ein teures Auswilderungsprojekt bringt Tiere aus Zoos zurück. Doch die grösste Bedrohung bleibt der Mensch, der im Bongo oft vor allem Fleisch sieht.

How have the evolutionary forces that shaped animal sex and behaviour influenced the ways humans conserve, study and coexist with other species? As the Zoological Society of London, the precursor to the zoo, celebrates its 200th anniversary, Adam Rutherford is joined by three guests whose work uncovers the scientific, historical and ethical threads connecting humans with the wider animal world. Biologist Lixing Sun introduces his new book On the Origin of Sex - the Weird and Wonderful Science of how our Planet is Populated, uncovering how mating strategies and reproductive behaviour evolved across species. From Californian Condors to clownfish, the dazzling array of ways in which the animal kingdom procreates is both baffling and astonishing.Cultural historian Elsa Richardson, from the University of Strathclyde, discusses her latest research into the archives of Edinburgh Zoo, revealing a rich and little‑known record of early zoological observation, public spectacle and the shifting moral landscapes of how people have imagined, displayed and interpreted animal behaviour.And Sarah Forsyth, Curator of Mammals at ZSL, reflects on the history of the organisation and offers insights into the crucial conservation work that the Zoo is involved in today. From field programmes to breeding initiatives, Sarah explores how modern zoos can help safeguard species and shape our understanding of animals in a rapidly changing world.Producer: Natalia Fernandez Senior Producer: Katy Hickman

When Punch the monkey was abandoned by his mother, zookeepers gave him a surrogate and unexpected source of comfort: a stuffed animal. Videos of Punch snuggling the stuffie went viral, and, as his stardom rose, millions of us began wondering,  “Is Punch OK? Does he have a girlfriend? Is he being bullied by the zoo's other macaques?” Primatologist Christine Webb joins Host Flora Lichtman to talk about the ways humans relate to our closest relatives, and whether we can—and should—map human feelings onto other primates. Guest: Christine Webb is an assistant professor of environmental studies at New York University. She is the author of “The Arrogant Ape: The Myth of Human Exceptionalism and Why It Matters.” Transcripts for each episode are available within 1-3 days at sciencefriday.com.
