Day 11 - A Return to Como Zoo

Today a post by request. After posting the photos from Como Zoo on Day 5 I was asked by Krystal where the Polar Bears were. I did not have any pictures of them ready to go then but I do now. If you have ever been to Como you know there are 2 Polar Bears in the enclosure.

The first Polar Bear seems to think he is an Olympic swimmer and does "laps" in his pool, the sad part is the pool is only a few feet long, he seems to enjoy it though.

The other Polar Bear always seems to be stuck at the bottom and walks back and forth looking rather depressed.
Near the exhibit there is also a statue of Polar Bears, some how I think they are having a lot more fun than the real life Bears.
While I was looking for a link to info about the Como Zoo Polar Bears I came across a WCCO story from 2006. Looks like the Polar Bears and the Primates will be getting $9 million worth of new enclosures . . . hopefully a bigger pool is included!
