It was a cold day so all of the cats were happy, and a little hyper 🙂
Everyone ate well, including Hoover who ate 12 Lbs today!
The tunnel from FunCation to Natalia’s enclosure was cleaned up. Abbey & new intern Paz pulled all of the burr and weeds out.
The interns who worked today (Romina, Abbey, Brandy, Lisa, Steph, Emma, Jenny, & Paz) all helped move palms in the rehab enclosures today. It’s a huge project, but they are almost done!
Enrichment and Operant signoffs were done today.
That’s about it!

Pancreatic cancer typically spreads rapidly to nearby organs. It is seldom detected in its early stages. His necropsy and biopsy showed that Joseph was in latter stages of the disease when he stopped eating and was euthanized. This confirms we made the merciful choice for our beloved Joseph. This precious lion is deeply missed.
Many of you have been asking and asking about memorial items for him. There are still some Joseph items in the gifts shops. Cindy Arthur also created some memorial shirts. Links can be found in yesterday’s Big Cat Updates page.[/vc_column_text][vc_masonry_media_grid item=”masonryMedia_ScaleWithContentBlock” grid_id=”vc_gid:1520637544510-45cac3c5-f19c-0″ include=”104244,104245,104246,104247″][vc_custom_heading text=”Rehab Bobcat, Noel” font_container=”tag:h3|text_align:left” google_fonts=”font_family:Open%20Sans%20Condensed%3A300%2C300italic%2C700|font_style:300%20light%20regular%3A300%3Anormal”][vc_column_text]March 7, 2018: Some overnight snapshot of Noel in the wild bobcat rehab area.[/vc_column_text][vc_masonry_media_grid item=”masonryMedia_ScaleWithContentBlock” grid_id=”vc_gid:1520637544514-40557f2c-86d4-5″ include=”104233,104234,104235,104236,104237″][vc_column_text]March 8 2018:  SHE DID IT!!!!
