They all seemed to get along very well together. The Polars always went swimming in the moat around the enclosure, but the others stayed clear of the water. Although I've heard that all bears love water - maybe the Polars had a tactical advantage there. The Zoo is planning a new enclosure as part of the "Klondike" multi-species project, they already finished the Indian theme for Elephants and the like and the Zambesi African theme too. Something interesting today while driving into town, while stopped at the lights we watched a crow eating walnuts, it was picking them off the tree,dropping them on the road and waiting for them to be crushed by passing cars.As soon as the lights were red the bird hopped between the cars and collected his shelled nuts . Fascinating to watch him keeping a beady eye on both the oncoming traffic and the lights to get his timing just right. Douglas (Herr Douglas :-) ) Douglas Herr schrieb: >"Douglas M.
