Grizzer – Hay Beds are here!

We had put straw in the dens for the exhibit pack, and Grizzer a few weeks ago, but we’ve more recently acquired Timothy Hay, which has fewer burrs in it, creating a more comfortable rest for the wolves. This hay was added to the mix in the last few days, and Grizzer seems to be enjoying it. He has his two favorite spots: one on top of his den, and the other under his favorite spruce. These beds provide a warm resting place for the wolves. Though in the wild, wolves do not need these beds due to the insulating snow. In captivity however, snow quickly becomes compact, and loses its insulation value.
