Hey, Chinook! Nice headgear! Green is definitely your color

Looks like Mama Ronnie is ready to place her order from the food trucks.

“Just back up the trucks, open the doors, then leave. We’ll help ourselves!”

  1. Hello Mervi and Michelle,

    So, the Christmas surprise continues, and I see the brown bear
    really likes it too.
    It’s a nice change in the middle of the year, but it should be offered to the animals on a regular basis, as only busy animals are happy zoo residents.

    Best wishes and many thanks!

  2. Dear Michelle!
    Brown bear Chinook is another adorable charmer from the Milwaukee County Zoo. He’s having great fun with the Christmas party leftovers, even though he missed the actual party.
    Thanks for these great pictures of this handsome bear!

    Hugs

  3. Thaks for introducing even another Alaskan brown bear from the Milwaukee Zoo.

    Great close ups. Lovely scenes. Beautiful Lady CHINOOK – or is it rather a young gentleman?? (I like this name!).

    “Let me play you a tune”
    is – of course – my favourite photo this time 🙂
    + “Thanks for stopping to see me before leaving.”

    Mama RONNIE seems to have a good sense of humour!

  4. Dear Mervi and Michele Thank you for letting us meet Chinook and join in his celebration. The photos show clearly how very different brown bears look from Polars. They are much close to the Teddy Bear we all know from childhood.
