Racine Zoo welcomes carnivorous Madagascar sisters to Vanishing Kingdom

RACINE — Two new animals have joined the Racine Zoo.

Fosa sisters  can now be seen in the zoo's Vanishing Kingdom.

The sisters were born at the Central Florida Zoo, where they spent the first year of their life. Both were premature and needed special veterinary care to survive.

They celebrated their first birthday this spring, and grew enough to move to their new Racine home.

The Racine Zoo renovated the Fosa exhibit to provide ample climbing and fun. The sisters explored their new exhibit the morning of July 31.

The zoo said the sisters have adjusted well, bringing energy and curiosity to their new home. They can be seen climbing branches and play fighting with each other.

Fosa are agile carnivores native to Madagascar and are the largest mammalian carnivore on the island. The species has retractable claws like a cat and a long, slender body similar to a mongoose or civet. They are excellent climbers and spend much of their time in the forest canopy.

Fosa are listed as "vulnerable" by the International Union on the Conservation of Nature because of reduced habitat and numbers found in the wild.

The Racine and Central Florida zoos cooperated to fulfill a recommendation of the Association of Zoos and Aquariums' Species Survival Plan that works to maintain long-term genetic sustainability of threatened and vulnerable species, Racine Zoo said.

A former Milwaukee teacher and coach is facing two federal charges related to child sexual abuse images, according to court documents filed in Florida district court.

Authorities say Patrick Conor Russell, a 37-year-old teacher in south Florida, told federal agents he has never touched a child inappropriately but said he engaged in inappropriate conversations about children, some of which were sexual in nature, and requested images and videos of minors. He told agents he has been "battling" this for a while, the complaint said.

The FBI arrested Russell on federal charges involving the receipt and possession of child sexual abuse material.

The complaint, filed May 28 in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Florida, said Russell told another user on a private messaging app that he was a teacher and coach and wanted to find someone who could “bait” the students at his school into sending nude pictures.

Russell appeared to have sent the user images of students at his school and made sexually explicit comments about them, according to the complaint.

Before relocating to Florida, Russell worked in multiple educational and athletic positions within Milwaukee-area Catholic schools. The schools include Marquette University High School and Catholic Memorial High School in Waukesha, as well as Carmen Southeast High School, a public charter school, according to the advocacy group Nate's Mission.

In a statement, a Marquette High School spokesperson said Russell was a former assistant football and lacrosse coach from 2018 to 2024.

"Based on the information currently available, the reported charges relate to his time in Florida," the spokesperson said. "The charges do not indicate misconduct involving MUHS students, and we have not received any reports or allegations involving Mr. Russell during his time as assistant coach."

"We have also contacted the former students and families of teams that he coached," the spokesperson said. "The safety and well-being of our students is our highest priority, and we encourage anyone who may have more information or concerns to report them and contact law enforcement."

In a news release, Nate's Mission, an advocacy group aiming to end clergy abuse in Wisconsin, urged state authorities to investigate Russell's work in the Milwaukee area.

"Wisconsin law does not require religious institutions to report suspected child abuse or related misconduct in the same manner as many other organizations serving children, creating significant gaps in accountability and oversight," the group said. "As a result, there is no assurance that allegations, concerns, or potential crimes would have been reported to law enforcement or disclosed when employees moved between institutions."

Caroline Clancy, a public affairs officer for the FBI's Milwaukee office, said the case is being handled in the Southern District of Florida and referred questions there.

Nate's Mission also referenced a series of sexual abuse cases within the Archdiocese of Milwaukee and past attempts to cover up misconduct. The group said law enforcement should independently review any serious allegations involving Catholic clergy or educators to determine whether earlier warning signs or victims may be connected to the case.

Russell is scheduled to appear in federal court June 12 for a preliminary hearing or arraignment, according to online court records.
