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.



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


Enjoy the 4th!
