Zoo Visit


Ten days ago Matt and Mark took Lincoln, Jake, Viva, and Bentley for a quick visit to the zoo because we had a new baby polar bear in residence. His mommy was shot by subsistence hunters who didn't realize she was a nursing sow until after they killed her. They tracked down the den and turned the cub over to the state who sent the cub to the zoo. Anna & Ben and their four children (AKA the cousins) were visiting the zoo that morning, too, so the two groups met up.

First two photos of the children with Matt:



And now for a few animal photos:








Northern animals are more attractive in the winter with their full winter coats on--except, of course, the musk ox whose coat looks molty all year around. What is with that?!
