The first of the new Cubby Pools is now in Wild Enclosure #2. Here is how it happened.
New pools are 700 gallon stock tanks from Tractor Supply.
Curators Tom, Greg, Jamie, and Seth remove the old pool.

A lot of life was found beneath.
Frogs!
Salamanders! Fun fact- there are more than 30 species of salamander in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park.
Goodbye to the old pool.
Hello to the new pool!
All ready for cubs!
Originally, Enclosure #2 had a cement pond instead of a pool. It was much harder to clean and fill.
This new version is the best yet!
Remember, you can help with the purchase of the additional pools by purchasing Tractor Supply gift cards. Here is the link:
