grizzer – Oct 21, 2011 12:00 AM

Grizzer is going to be moved out of the new habitat for a day or two. We are adding a protective concrete slant to the front of his den site. After a recent storm with a significant amount of rainfall, we noticed that the water drainage in front of the den was not adequate and resulted in the den getting wet. It is very important that all dens stay dry, so we will take advantage of one of the last remaining warm days in fall and pour a few bags of concrete and rocks. We have to wait until about noon to do the work, this morning's temperature was 19 degrees, but it is expected to reach 54 degrees by noon. He will be back in the Exhibit on Saturday late afternoon. We need at least 24 hours for the concrete to dry.
