Polar Bears love water and I have photos to prove it. Just look at this great photo taken at the St Felicien Wildlife Zoo in Quebec, Canada…

Spectacled Bear Cubs Playing

June 6th, 2010 by frankie


I love to see photos of bear cubs playing. These photos of a couple of Spectacled Bears — Chaska and Bernardo at the National Zoo — have the typical whitish or cream “spectacles” ringing their eyes.

Spectacled Bears are also known as Andean and are South America’s only bears. Check these cute photos of Chaska and Bernardo…


Photos: National Zoo

The light color of the rings around the eyes extends down to the throat and chest in a variety of ways, giving each individual bear a unique set of markings. Their coats are thick and usually either black or brown, and rarely with a reddish tinge.

Kung Fu Bear – For Real

May 30th, 2010 by frankie


The video below shows an Asiatic Black Bear in a zoo in Japan doing what appears to be kung fu. And, by gosh, he is excellent. He’s been interested in sticks since he moved to the zoo and spends hours twirling sticks as if preparing for a fight using kung fu. Check it out…

Amazing, huh?

I had to share this great video of a black bear. It has a great sound track and it is only 33 seconds so no excuses not to watch it.
