Oh goodie….it will be dark by 5pm! I made it a point to visit my North American friends in the Milwaukee County Zoo upon my return. Here are some of my faves. Have a beautiful day! ✌️❤️&🐻
Hello, Borealis!! I heard you were rarely seen while I was away. Boris is getting ready for his long winters nappy.
I bet I have lots of Boris pics & he will get his own album. Did he even go in his pool? Stay tuned. He put on a LOT of weight while I was gone.😍
Hello, Mama 🐻 Ronnie😍 I noticed your belly is almost dragging on the ground when you walk!
Oh, Mama 🐻…..the 🌞 is making it hard to see your adorable foot dangling!
“Where have you been?! My hammock season is almost done!” Looking great, Brian😍
“Ugh, no one has called me Chinookie in almost a month! Unacceptable!!” You’re looking great, Chinookie😍
Hello, Cheyenne….I could feel you getting closer as I 📸 the grizzlies 😍
“We missed our fave 📷! It’s about time you’re back!” Thanks, Brian🤩
Oh, Chinook …. yes, I have more pics of you & your shenanigans😍
Brian is unimpressed with Chinook’s lounging pool moves 😆
Mama 🐻 on her perch 🥰
Whoa….Mr. Pdog, you gained a wee bit of weight!
Oscar? I didn’t think I’d get to see you again.
Ready for his 📷. Oscar goes behind the scenes very soon for the winter.
Oh, Alex😍 You may not be a North American friend, but you always have a special place in my ❤️. Thanks for popping up from your tub when you saw me🥰
Thanks for this nice photo-stream! 🙂
Die Braunbären sind rundum sehr beeindruckend!!!🐻🐻🐻🐻🐻😮
Vielen Dank für die Fotogrüße!!👍🤗
These are great photos, Michelle!
With all that winter fat, the bears will be able to hibernate well and for a long time.
The badgers and marmots are also hibernating well.
Best regards,

Dear Michelle!
The brown bears look ready for the winter.
Mr. Pdog is very cute.

Dear Michelle!
Thank you for the sensual, chubby grizzlies, who will soon be hibernating for the winter. They don’t look as if they’ve been denying themselves many treats lately… I think they’re adorable, and I especially like Brian in the hammock and Chinookie’s sidelong glance. How nice that you got to see them before they went into hibernation! Oskar the badger and Alex the orangutan are also heartbreakers and surely have many fans among the visitors. I wish the animals in Milwaukwee a wonderful winter and sweet dreams to those who are sleeping!
Hugs
Anke
