It’s been so cold that the waterfall in the bear exhibit has been freezing over. You can see all the ice building up. It’s beautiful, but it can cause issues.
Do you know what two issues we are worried about when this happens? Leave me your ideas in the comment section.

The freezing and melting might loosen some rock and cause it to fall?
Personal injury to both keepers and bears from falling icicles?
Ice breaking and bear getting caught in it?
Falling ice hurting staff/animals and water pump burning out 'cause water is frozen and not circulating through.
No water for the bear to drink if it is frozen. And injury from slipping, falling.
Skating off the edge and ice harpoons?
