There were still several Tiger water pools (enclosures' 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 ) that were green with algae, including the bear pond with (4 bears), 2 cougars and the 1 lion and dog(Bandit). The water pools had floating clumps of algae in some areas or a coating of algae on the bottom or sides of the metal tubs/pools. The black leopard had green floating algae in his water tank that has not been cleaned in 6-8 days. The 8 foxes, 1 cougar and 2 porcupines had floating algae on all of their water buckets. Algae buildup can cause the water to be a source of harmful organisms that can be toxic to the animal and cause possible health issues. The buildup of algae can cause skin disorders and is not a suitable drinking source. The licensee must clean the water pools and water drinking sources as often as necessary to prevent the buildup of algae. Inspection and exit interview was conducted with the licensee and his wife. By the licensee signing this document, it is not an admission of guilt but serves to only reflect the licensees' receipt of the report and exit interview.
