Entering the Spreadsheet Habitat with Kelly Salamone of the San Diego Zoo and SAFE Red Panda
Today, the Safari sits down with one of the true unsung heroes of the zoo world: Kelly Salamone. In her work at the San Diego Zoo and with SAFE Red Panda, Kelly does SO much that I can't even describe it all here. Just listen...she's a star. This is a completely different side of the zoo world than you've heard about on here yet, and that's even before we get to Kelly's incredible non-zoo job. EPISODE LINKS: @sandiegozoo on socials sandiegozoo.org ROSSIFARI LINKS: @rossiari on socials @rossifaripod on TikTok Rossifari.com Patreon.com/rossifari to support the pod
About 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.
