- The grizzly bear enclosure contained no water. There were no drinking water receptacles present in the enclosure and the play water receptacles were empty. The licensee stated that the clips on the drinking water receptacles were being replaced and that the containers had been removed from the enclosure around 9 am. It was around noon and the temperature was around 82 degrees. All three grizzly bears were panting. The licensee turned on the water hose and two of the bear drank aggressively from the water hose. The licensee brought in two small water receptacles. Licensee was instructed that due to the size and type of animals present those were too small and would not hold enough water for grizzly bears on high temperature days. Water must be supplied to the enclosed animals as often necessary for the health and comfort of the species of enclosed animals.
