Birman Kitty
Kodiak
Male
Kodiak is what you would expect a young polar bear to be like. He is mischievous, playful, silly, intelligent, food motivated, and his greatest trait is how well he responds to trick training and correctional training. He loves to learn, and desires it almost more than the rewards for the good deed. He loves to snuggle with not just humans, but other animals as well, including dogs and horses! He is the kindest polar bear you could find, as well as one of the smartest!
As soon as Frosted Forest heard about the cub, they knew that their stables could easily become the new home for young Kodiak. Although he is already 3 years old, Frosted Forest could easily accomodate to the age difference, because of his socialization with humans at such a young age. Frosted Forest is located in Northern Utah, the climate may be a little strange for this polar bear, but as cold as the winters get, and the access to a great trainer, Frosted forest could be just the home for this bear.
Doug Seusis an amazing trainer of these magnificent creatures, and is afilliated with Frosted Forest. Not having the land, and resources to care for Kodiak is detrimental to his overall health and happiness, which is why Frosted Forest took a step forward.
Already having a permit, and enclosed area that is acres wide, they excitedly prepared for the possible new friend. Frosted Forest leaped into action in preparing for him. They hired an architect to design Kodiak's new habitat, adding in an exceptionally large swimming pool, ramps and giant hammocks, and shelters fit for a king. Frosted Forest's manager Mandy Bennet, lead this costly experiment, and pushed it forward into being real.
She showed the architect the design of the automatic watering system, and he quickly decided where it was best to put water in for the bear. Fresh venison, Salmon, small rodents, waterfowl, shellfish, fish, eggs, kelp, and many plants with avliable berries will be provided for the bear. Kodiak's trainer will show, and teach him how to use his new habitat to his advantage, showing him how to swim in an enclosed pool, walking up ramps, getting water from the watering hole, and the feeder with his food in it.
Kodiak would then be left to find the berry plants, and favorite places to roam freely. With over 20 acres that he will roam, he will get plenty of excersize which is extremely important for his health, as well as happiness. If Kodiak was kept in a zoo or small enclosure he could easily become bored with his surroundings and become stressed, and may injure himself or others. On the other hand, if Kodiak was allowed to roam freely in a national park, he could be shot by hunters, harm other animals, or die from lack of knowledge of how to hunt and care for himself in such a large area. Being kept in this extremely large enclosure will protect him, humans, and other animals! The enclosure is custom made out of a chain link fence, it is over 15 feet high all the way around and has a chain link covering that completely encloses the area. Giving him plenty of room to stand on his hind legs (10 feet) and roam on all fours as well (5 feet).
Kodiak would be have training sessions weekly, that would benefit to his overall well being, and behavior towards humans and horses. He would have knowledge of being herded by horses, if there was ever an emergency and he would need to be removed from his habitat, he would learn his name, and the command come, stay, and follow. He will only be worked with by his approved professional trainer, Doug Seus; as well as Mandy Bennet (Barn Manager), a few round up riders, and the occasional clean up crew that will comb his habitat clean.
Everyone is excited for their new possible bear friend, and are bubbling with anticipation.
