The water receptacles for the enclosures containing the tigers Lily and Hank have a layer of algae scum on their interiors indicating that they are not being cleaned adequately. The enclosure containing the Syrian brown bears has no water in the receptacle. The only source of water for the enclosure is a muddy pool of water. The water receptacle for the enclosure housing two bobcats has a layer of algae slime on its interior indicating that it is not being cleaned adequately. Unclean water receptacles can affect water palatability and lead to decreased water consumption. This can have an adverse effect on the health of the animals in these enclosures. Contaminated water can also lead to other potential health issues for these animals such as bacterial or parasitic infection. Clean these water receptacles as often as needed to keep the water in the receptacles clean and sanitary.
