Some more photos from the zoo, from my visit last week.
The bears are always good fun to watch, especially at snack-and-swim time…

Bear With Me
The Brown Bear is the hugest predatory animal in Scandinavia. An adult male can weigh 150-300 kilos, the females 100-200. A few years ago at our zoo the bears were allotted a considerably larger area there than they had before. In fact they have so much space now where they can hide (if they want to), that sometimes when you visit, you don’t see any! That was the case last time I visited the zoo, a couple of years ago. Then I could just barely spot a bit of brown fur behind a rock, and got no pictures. I was beginning to think I would have no more luck this time, because when I first walked around Bearland (above), I did not see any sign of activity there at all.
However, after I’d had my lunch (at a restaurant situated between Bearland and Wolfland) I had better luck. Now the bears were not only up and about on land; the young ones were well in the mood to go swimming and put on a wrestling show for tourists too.
- I challenge you…
- Okay, here we go. Let’s make that bridge shake…
- Yes, using teeth is allowed!
- Now who is stronger…
- You know I love you really, don’t you?
- Enough is enough. Time to get up…
Shakin’ it off…
- I’ll tell you a good trick you can use next time…
- Phew, now I really just want a good rest in the sun…
