Roll out the barrel…. have a good time with the grizzly girls, Ash and Lexi (Henry Vilas Zoo in Madison). Flash back to earlier this month when the girls were in the 🐻❄️ habitat. Have a happy day!✌️❤️&🐻
Roll out the barrel , Lexi 🤩
Usually I get more photos of Lexi, especially in the pool…..BUT….
Earlier this month when the girls were in the 🐻❄️ habitat…..the opposite happened.
Lexi shaking it off, then she took off to explore outside of the pool.
Hello, Ash 😍 Both girls were wandering & exploring, so I headed over to Berit in the grizzly habitat.
I returned to find Ash in the pool working on the firehose braid 🤩
I usually get lots of Lexi in the pool, so it was nice to get Ash for a change 🤩
Oh no….where’s Ash?!
There she is…
Ash is such a happy 🐻 in the polar bear pool 😍
Yes, Ash! They’re all watching YOU 🤩
Of course, I’m watching you, too!
Is it unbraided yet?
I believe Ash was successful
Nice claws, Ash!
See you next time, Ash! More grizzly girls to come from my next visit with them in the 🐻❄️ habitat (yes, it has happened twice).
Dear Michelle!
Ash and Lexi have the wonderful toys for playing in the water. Thank you for the wonderful pictures.

Die Feuerwehrschläuche sind eine große Herausforderung für die Bären und ein Spielzeug, das fast unkaputtbar ist.
Schöne Bilser von zwei hübschen Bären!
Vielen Dank und liebe Grüße

Dear Michelle!
Persistence pays off. These are lots of wonderful photos of busy bears. I particularly like the pictures with the fire hose. My favourite is ‘Of course, I’m watching you too.’
Thank you very much for sharing!

The grizzly sisters were having such a good time with that fire hose thingy. It is a great enrichment activity to switch Berit and the grizzly bears, keeps them interested. The grizzly sisters have such long claws!
Thanks for sharing.
