Bears and Wolf on the 3rd

Top Photo: Who is that?

Why, it’s Little Bear working at extracting marshmallows from a patriotic block of ice. The Animal Care Team placed the block into the bear enclosure following a scheduled yard cleaning.

The blocks consisted of juices and fruit, and of course marshmallows. Blueberries were in the blue section, strawberries in the red. Three blocks were included in the celebratory event (one for each bear) though I failed to get a shot of Murray Bear working his block—he was late to the party—next time.

Murray, though late, eventually got his treats.

Around the corner, Oca, red wolf, proudly wolfs down a lab rat tossed into the enclosure for that purpose.

The last to go down is the tail.

Enjoy the 4th!
