Polar Bears - California / San Diego Zoo
Elaine L:
That Kalluk, what a big show-off he is! Right now, he is right in front of the window, wowing the crowds as he thrashes around in the water. It is all for effect, as he could easily grab the bone that is wedged in beside a rock, but polar bears have excellent hearing, and I am sure he can hear the oohs and ahs of the crowds on the other side of the window, and he loves to play to the crowd. His legs were almost straight up in the air at one point, with his head balanced on the window. When he came crashing down, I am sure they heard it on the other side of the zoo.

Yes! I did see this, earlier this afternoon... you are right, Elaine, she certainly does have his number! ;)
Elaine L:
Just a few minutes ago, Kalluk's sister stole his carrot. There are carrots scattered all around their compound, but no, she had to have his. Just like my dogs, and people, for that matter. We are more alike than we think.
The bears often wrestle and roughhouse right in front of the spectator window, so all the people standing there get an excellent close-up, which must be thrilling.

Ha! Now I know exactly what you mean, Elaine! I saw Kalluk "belly on up to the bar" to eat his carrots not long ago. Very funny to see, indeed! :D
