MacKenzie was weaned off the chlomipramine last week, so far, she seems to remain calm. The noise levels across the road has diminished and the twice weekly Behind the Scenes tours are over. This may be helping reduce her anxiety. We will continue to monitor over the next month, but we believe as the exhibit returns to the calm of fall and winter season, she will remain relaxed. We are very diligent about keeping her enclosure quiet and relatively stress free. I know we have had requests to give tours to the retired exhibit, but I hope people understand the importance of keeping the stress to a minimum.
