The curators removed all of the fire hose enrichment items, like hammocks,etc. when they started their work on the Wild Enclosures. But the plan was to replace them with new ones. In order to improve the quality of the enrichment items, our friends at Zoo Knoxville sent one of their expert enrichment builders to instruct the ABR team in building fire hose items that can be easily taken down and cleaned.There will be more on this tomorrow,
