Polar Bears - California / San Diego Zoo
Elaine L:
The latest information from the Zoo is disappointing; they do not now believe that Chinook is pregnant, and they say the window of opportunity here is closing. Also, nothing has showed up on the ultrasounds, which Chinook so readily participates in. They are now looking to next year. I was really looking forward to seeing a polar bear baby, and considering the size of Chinook's belly, I felt certain we were about to participate in this rare and wonderful event in the polar bear world. It would have made by winter, and my Christmas, for that matter. Sigh....
Saoirse:
You're not alone, Elaine. I don't check the polar bear cam every day, but definitely look in on the bears from time to time. I think the San Diego zoo does a fantastic job with their cams, and polar bears are amazing animals to watch.
Elaine L:
I am a big fan of the polar bears, Kinderchick, especially at this time of the year, when our falcons have pretty well all gone south. I think you, Tracy and I are perhaps the only ones following the polar bear cam, but that is o.k., I am happy to report to and interact with anyone who is interested, no matter how small this group may be.
Kinderchick:
Didn't get a chance to see Kalluk today, but enjoyed hearing about his antics through you, Elaine. :D
Elaine L:
Kalluk and the crows had abit of a dust-up this afternoon. He had left a huge bone over by the water, and the crows, not slow to notice a feeding opportunity, went for it. I could see Kalluk giving them "the look", then he went after them. Crows are very smart, so, of course, they just fly up out of his reach, and land on the other side of him, so he turns around and chases them again. He kept up this back-and-forth for a bit, and then decided that perhaps the best course of action was just to take his bone with him and go into the corner. The last I saw, the crows were waiting for him to doze off or lose interest in the bone, then victory would be theirs.
