Minnesota Zoo


200904 062, originally uploaded by bertine.

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.

It is awesome. The otters were good too but were too hard to photograph.

How awesome! And by "awesome," I mean they are awe-inspiring!

Are those real? They look like sculptures...

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