Every day is a hammock day for Brian

15.5.2023 by Michelle Rippey

It may be a dreary Monday, but every day is hammock day for grizzly Brian in the Milwaukee County Zoo. Here’s 12 photos taken in the 12 minutes I spent with my favorite hammock bear.

Hello, Brian! “NO! You can’t see it!”

  1. Dear Michelle and Mervi!
    Wow, what a funny and lovable bear.
    Thanks for these great and heartwarming photos! Brian is apparently doing so really well and is so laid back and cool.
    I plead for hammocks like this to be used much more often in zoos!

    Auch Bären wissen, wie man
    entspannt relaxen kann… 😀
    Eine schöne Idee der Pfleger.
