In an enclosure housing a one year old female tiger,"Naula," the dirt floor is completely muddy with standing puddles of water throughout. There is a large hole in front of the door that is full of water. The tiger's food and water are located in the muddy areas. The tiger had no dry area inside the enclosure except the concrete shelter that she sleeps in. Standing water and mud are a potential source of discomfort and contamination, and can have a negative impact on the health and welfare of the enclosed animal. Animals must have areas where they can stay dry and comfortable, and should be able to access food and water without having to stand in muddy areas. The large hole in front of the door needs to be filled in, and an effective drainage system needs to be in place to rapidly drain excess water. To be corrected by September 16, 2014.
