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!”
“Hmm, I know you want a peek!”
“OK, take a quick look. Hey, elk girlies! Wanna see my bellybutton?!”
“The elk girls love to watch me, too!”
“Ahhhh, I love my hammock.”
“Toesies….bellybutton…..life is good!”
“Let me do a quick stretchie.”
“Whoa…..exercise makes me thirsty.”
“And sleeeeepy.”
“I have the best bear bellybutton!”
“Seriously….time for my power nap before pool time, so move along.”
“Come back soon. Happy Monday!”

You and Brian just got my Monday off to a great start. Thank you.
Thank you very much dear Mervi and Michelle.
Best wishes to Brian.
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.
