| It
looks like the bears have adapted to their captive state by using
various methods of food gathering. |

|
| This
black bear takes the prayer approach. |
Just
toss the food over here and I'll get it when I'm through with
my little nappy! |

Maybe
this Grizzly thinks his chances will increase if he looks
like he's howling like a wolf.

Psst
- come on over here with that salmon steak, will ya?

Hey,
what's that funny thing around your neck, Wizard the Harris
Hawk?
|
Hey,
it's not my idea to wear this Elizabethan monstrosity! Maybe
if I ignore him, he'll go away...

explained that health problems show up very quickly in birds indicated
by weight loss, so each bird's weight is documented every day by these
caring professionals and volunteers. |

One
thing that's not funny is the condition that some of these
birds come in with after contact with humans. Can you believe
someone other than a Bin Laden type would shoot our gorgeous
national symbol like this?
This
regal lady was so determined to live, the vets have now decided
to design and fit her with a prosthesis to help her eat.

2 cents: These
people do wonderful work and really care about their charges.
The animals' welfare comes first, and that was evident in all
the staff's and volunteers' actions throughout my tour. As bad
as I wanted to see the new resident river otter, by the time
I got there he was asleep and they wouldn't wake him for his
appearance in the article -- I applaud that. |
