he zoo is practically empty because it is cold, and rainy, and early in the day. I do not mind the cold or the rain…and I welcome the solitude as I meander among the animals. I am able to take my time and watch the animals without people blocking view. A problem, though, with the cold is that many of the animals are also seeking warmth – except those that have indoor housing and the polar bears. The polar bears are having fun…one of them is having a grand time with a large tire.

The skin of a polar bear is black but their hair is actually translucent!
