Finally some reasonable weather has allowed us to do some more training. Below is some video of Carnivore Keeper Angie working with Kiburi on exhibit.

Pool Party!
Maybe you’ve noticed but its officially hot outside! Cheetahs are native to plains of Africa and Anatolian shepherd dogs are well known for their ability to withstand temperature extremes but everyone appreciates a break on a hot summer day in Houston.
So last week we had a pool party – what better way to cool off? You can see Tusker enjoyed a little wading in the pool – I think he thought it was a big water bowl, since he’s known to put his front paws in while drinking.

When Tusker was done, Kiburi went for a little dip, but not all the way in. He just wanted to get his favorite ball out of the water (don’t worry, we fished it out for him after this valiant attempt).
Finally, one of the dogs’ favorite summertime activities (“activity” perhaps being a strong word) is to come hang out in my office. The A/C is on, I keep some toys around, and plenty of people come by to say hello. I used to do this with the cheetahs when they were younger, but my furniture couldn’t take it any more.
clear my calendar this afternoon, please
