00:05Today we gave honey to Turbo, the spectacled bear, and he loved it. He had a great time climbing all
00:11around and finding honey and all the places that we'd hidden it, and this helps him to express
00:15these natural behaviors the way that he would do it in the wild. Turbo, our Andean bear, is four
00:22years old, so he's still quite young in the bear world. He's very curious, very active. A lot of
00:27times when you come you're going to see him way up high in the tree looking out and seeing
00:31what everyone's doing on the outside of his exhibit. I got a call from one of my colleagues
00:37saying we have this large, probably large hive, we don't know, it's in a wall, and so this
00:42particular hive ended up stretching about 12 feet tall, and we were able to remove it, get
00:48the queen, and most of that comb went to the colony, and then some of it was kept back for
00:54enrichment. Enrichment for the animals could be like a game to us or a puzzle for them,
00:59just something that challenges us and allows us to think in a different way. And obviously,
01:04you know, Turbo had a great time with the honeycomb. He might not get to that honeycomb right away. It
01:10might take him all day to find all of the honeycomb that is in that exhibit, so even if it's
01:16tonight,
01:16or maybe the next morning, it's great because it's just an ongoing challenge that he can keep coming
01:22back to over and over again.
