Bears!

I don't know about you guys, but bears are my favorite part of the zoo!

Did you know?

• Bears are mammals belonging to the Ursidae family. We have all members of this family here at our zoo!


• Over here we have the Ursus Arctos aka. the brown bear. The scientific name of the brown bear comes from the Latin ursus, meaning "bear", and the Greek ἄρκτος/arktos, also meaning "bear".

• I guess he wasn't expecting visitors...

• Let's continue on to the polar bears!



• Polar bears are technically considered marine animals because of their dependence on aquatic prey. They primarily feed on seals, beluga whales, walruses, some terrestrial prey, and whale carcasses. However, they are never opposed to a little healthy eating, as they generally will eat kelp, berries, roots, mushrooms, moss and lichens, dandelions, clover, and chamomile.
