Triplets in Enclosure #2

Comments are off

We posted about the curators deciding to move the Rainbow Triplets to Wild Enclosure #2 so that they (curators) could do some work in Enclosures #3 and 4. It seems likely that the Triplets and the cubs in Wild Enclosure #1 will be spending more time at ABR, due to the COVID travel restrictions that make it more difficult for wildlife officers to come to our facility, pick up their cubs, and travel to their destinations.

We promised to continue the story of the move, and reveal how the Triplets adjusted to their new enclosure.

One of the Triplets went into the Cubby Pool. Look how clear the water is!
Maybe we should have said it was clear, because the Triplet brought his/her dirt into the pool and the water started getting cloudy. Remember the “Cubby Broth” from the summer?
They rested at the base of a tree that night. Three pairs of eyes reflect the camera’s light.
As we have come to expect from these three, they continued to play and wrestle through the night.
Finally! They fell asleep in a cozy cubby pile at last.

If you recall our spoiler alert, now it’s clear that their behavior didn’t change from the behavior we saw when they were in Wild Enclosure #3. What kind of shenanigans will they create next? Stay tuned. We have the cubs next door to watch, also.
