The good old chap Boris is doing fine!

24.4.2024 by Michelle Rippey

Guess what day it is?! It’s HUMP Day with the one & only….BORIS. The threat of rain & severe weather yesterday made it a PURRfect day for a zoo stop. Watched Boris devour his afternoon meal. April is a transition month for the bears as they wake from hibernation. All bears are doing well. Happy Hump Day! ✌️❤️&🐻

Boris is 25 years old. He came to the Milwaukee County Zoo from Alaska in 1999.

Boris ate every last bite of his buffet.

  1. Dear Michelle!
    Thank you for the touching pictures of this cuddly old bear.
    Somehow I’m particularly fond of old animals. They have character, are very charming and lovable and they are loved by visitors and keepers alike.
    I wish Boris a wonderful spring and many more good and healthy years!

    Hugs

  2. Boris hat die gleiche Gelassenheit wie Gorilla Lady Fatou in Berlin.
    Im Alter steht das Essen an erster Stelle!
    Hab es weiterhin gut, lieber Boris!

  3. Dear Michelle!
