Here's the
new companion. The musk smell is extremely strong in this area
of the Zoo - whewwww!
I couldn't
believe my luck today! Both Grizzly Bears were in the water and
appeared to be play-fighting. Indeed, they came right up to the
window, wrestling and shoving each other like two rowdy kids.
Teeth were
bared and there was a great deal of scuffling and splashing but
it was all in good fun.
At last one
plopped down for a rest.
It was hard
to tell what he was eating. When he finally relinquished his grip
and moved, it appeared to be a bone of some sort.
A keeper began
to throw them apples and other morsels of food, and they moved very
quickly towards the goodies, despite their size.
"Don't
even THINK about it, Mr Crow" snarls the Grizzly Bear.
The River Otters
were also very active today and I wasted many pixels trying to get
a shot of one. I finally got lucky.
And as I headed
for home, I couldn't resist taking a picture of this fellow against
the backdrop of the pretty blue Seattle skies today.
