grizzer – Feb 11, 2008 12:00 AM

Thanks to all of you for your tolerance during our recent webcam issues. These were issues at the server level, and not with the cameras, although, the challenging 40 below wind-chill during the camera failure had us doubting the limits of the cameras. The current camera host is a temporary fix, and you might notice minor adjustments or down time in the upcoming week, but hopefully not as long we just experienced. The Nanny Application deadline has passed, and Assistant Wolf Curator, Donna Prichard and I are meeting to organize teams. We will have the award letters mailed by February, 15th. The Behavioral Observation team has a few positions remaining, so, you will continue to see this program advertised. Grizzer had a slight eye infection due to a canine bite near his eyelid; he’s been treated with topical antibiotics and is doing well. Their “play behavior has been a bit rough lately, especially between Grizzer and Maya, so it’s no wonder he caught a tooth in his eye. He was easy to treat, but we did refrain from any ointment on the coldest days. His eye is fine, but we usually run a standard of 7 day treatments with antibiotics.
