maya – Aug 2, 2004 12:00 AM

Today Maya is 89 days old. With the day of the planned introduction into the exhibit pack fast approaching, staff has been monitoring Maya's progress very closely. She is well on her way to meeting the 40 pound target weight and staff is optimistic. Maya has been showing more interest in the Arctics lately, even abandoning food to run to the fence and greet them. Due to the heat today, she was not very active and growled at staff and nannies when they attempted to move her.
