FAA WATERCOLOR MARK DOES NOT APPEAR ON FINAL SALES
While visiting the Bronx Zoo this year, (July 2013) I went over to the Grizzly Bear den where I saw three Grizzly Bears relaxing, it was quite different from last time when two of the Grizzlies got into a battle over a watering hole and were broken up by the largest of the three Grizzly Bears. This year in the 91 degree weather everybody was calm and keeping to themselves. I followed this one Grizzly Bear to an isolated hole where he grabbed his toy ball and began to lay on his back in the water keeping himself cool, every once in a while grabbing some grass to chew on, here he is seen relaxing and giving his paw a quick washing and just relaxing from the UNBEARABLE heat. For more information on Grizzly Bears please read below;
The grizzly bear (Ursus arctos horribilis), also known as the silvertip bear, the grizzly, or the North American brown bear, is a subspecies of brown bear (Ursus arctos) that generally lives in the uplands of western North America. This subspecies is thought to descend from Ussuri brown bears which crossed to Alaska from eastern Russia 100,000 years ago, though they did not move south until 13,000 years ago.Except for cubs and females, grizzlies are normally solitary, active animals, but in coastal areas, the grizzly congregates alongside streams, lakes, rivers, and ponds during the salmon spawn. Every other year, females (sows) produce one to four young (commonly two) which are small and weigh only about 500 grams (1 lb). A sow is protective of her offspring and will attack if she thinks she or her cubs are threatened.
