We thought to hike up to the polar bears, thinking it would be cooler. Guess what? It wasn't. They keep the water cool. And they keep the bears near the water, but they also keep the people away from the bears. Go figure. On the way to the polar bears, we saw more animals. Like Allen's Swamp Monkey and another ugly pig thing.




Once we walked up (and it was literally up) to the Polar Bear Plunge, the stupid bears were taking naps. Don't they know people who come to watch them in captivity like to see them playing with toys or something? There were two bears. I like to call them bear 1 and bear 2. Bear 1 (pictured top left) was pretty boring. For all I know, it was dead. Bear 2 woke up while we were there. He walked and stretched then plopped himself right into the water.


After that he took a tour of the pool, swimming around and stopping at some rocks. I don't know what he was looking for but it didn't look like he found it.



it's not true that flamingos do nothing. on his recent visit to fargo, my brother ian informed me that on his most recent trip to the l.a. zoo he saw flamingos mating. he did not mention whether she made him a sandwich afterward.
