Play Time

The brown bears are far and away my favorite animals to visit at the zoo. Unfortunately, most times they are sound asleep, but Friday we were treated to a good-natured frolic between the two youngsters.  Although it didn't look like a frolic.  Or good natured.  In fact, it looked downright scary.  Turns out these two bears were orphaned in Alaska last year after officials were forced to kill their mother, who had been involved in several maulings.  It's nice to see they've found a good home.

Oh, and the zoo has Klipsch outdoor speakers at their commissary.  Yay, Klipsch!

Bears at play.  This is why wild animals don't make good pets.  Playtime can be very dangerous.

Bears are my fav at the zoo too. Polar bears are the most fun imo but the greatest thing I've seem with bears was brown bears standing upright, snatching tossed peanuts out of the air in their paws.
