Boltz – Hiding from the flies

We’re still working with some anxious behavior from Boltz due to his phobia of bees. Insect season has really come into full swing, and the sound of buzzing around him can make Boltz very intimidated. Recently he has spent most of his time in a dug den in the back of the enclosure. All of the sand and dirt can serve as protection for him from the bees and flies. He does spend time in the open seeking social company however, today he came down when a storm rolled in to rest beside Denali under the eaves in front of our observation area. Though the winds and thunder were relatively intense, visitors were given an excellent view of the pair through the storm.
