Reno, Nevada, where he was seen feeding near campsites on several occasions and appeared to be orphaned. His comfort level to humans posed a risk to park people. The Nevada Department of Wildlife rescued Claud and asked the Houston Zoo if it could offer him a home.
Guests can see Claud exploring his new home in the Hamill Foundation Black Bear exhibit, across from the lions. In his new space, Claud will have access to several pools, a waterfall, and places to hide, dig and climb. Since his arrival seven weeks ago, Claud finished his quarantine and will be introduced to Belle, the zoo’s 9-year-old black bear, in the future.
In his short time at the zoo, Claud has shown himself to be very curious with his new surroundings. He can be seen exploring and readily uses the enrichment his animal care team provides. Claud is very interested and engaged with all his new home offers, especially taking a splash in the pools in his habitat.
