19.4.2022 – Story and Photos by Molly Merrow
Young Kulu is only two years and four months old, but he gets around. He was born in the Columbus Zoo in Ohio, the son of father Lee, and mother Aurora. Aurora’s twin sister Anana also helped to raise him. In early October last year, just before his second birthday, he moved to the Como Zoo in St. Paul, Minnesota, and a new family welcomed him.
His new companions, older bears Neil and Nan, are like adoptive grandparents. They play with him and watch over him. Here’s a photo of Neil playing with Kulu in the water, while Nan watches. When the older bears get tired, Kulu knows how to entertain himself.
One day last week, he found big white barrel, and he had so much fun with that floating toy.
Sometimes he would hug the barrel.
And other times he would savagely attack the barrel.
Grandma Nan would come over to see what Kulu was doing.
The visitors liked to watch him play.
The barrel float and that was fun.
But Kulu thought it was even more fun to make it go down, down, down under the water.
So much fun for one little cub. Kulu smiles.
Dear Molly! Thank you so much for this charming report!
