Last weekend I went to the Minnesota Zoo with Zach and his parents. We got to see the new Russia's Grizzly Coast exhibit which was very impressive. The Grizzly exhibit had a huge glass wall so you got to be just a few feet from the bears, which were wrestling when we got there. I could sit there in awe for hours because you never would be able to get so close to them in the wild without being a total panic.

Awesome! They look like they're shaking hands. Actually, they look like they're doing a complicated "boys society" style handshake series.

There is a whole series of them. They looked liked really big cats trying to figure out who gets the "good" spot.

Zach probably was getting tempted to rassle them. He's from Montana. I imagine it was a scene right from Encino Man.
