grizzer – Jun 11, 2011 12:00 AM

Grizzer has been a bit stressed by the contractors working on his new habitat, but we calm that with a dose of valium and make sure that a core wolf care staff member is always near the enclosure. After the contractor's leave, the staff spend a significant amount of time grooming him and giving him a distraction from the tension. We also installed sprinker systems on all enclosures, so if he is a bit stressed, the cool water misting on him will reduce any overheating. Fortunately, this is a short project that will be very beneficial in the end.
