We will miss you deeply Bette Adler! Thank you for all the kindness and generosity that you’ve shown to the Marshfield Community. You will be in our hearts forever!
Here’s a new video clip on Munsey and Boda! You can find more links to video clips and news articles written about the Munsey and Boda in former posts dedicated to Munsey and Boda.
I happened to be visiting Munsey and Boda during during some hot and humid days. The early morning hours did’t seem to have as great of an impact on the cubs as much as the hot and humid evenings. Last night the cubs seemed to be struggling with the heat and humidity from the long hot day. Boda was digging up sand in the hopes of finding some cool damp sand to rest into, while Munsey found a cool spot to rest located closer to the waterfalls up against the rock formations.
Earlier in the day I stopped to check on the cubs and found them swimming in the Bear Woods pond and the swimming pool that’s located in the JP Adler Kodiak Bear Habitat Area.
The cubs love discovering new things and one of items that cubs love playing with is the landscaping material that must line the pond in the BEAR WOODS.
Munsey and Boda love to play with new and interesting toys and that includes the empty beer keg that’s floating in their pond.
On August 10th around noon,was the first time I observed Munsey and Boda swimming across their pond that’s located in the JP Adler Kodiak Bear Habitat Area. This pool is 13 feet deep in the center and so the cubs would normally only play and splash along the outside area’s but never had I seen them swim across the deepest area of the pool.
The cubs are now 18 months old and weigh about 380 to 390 pounds each.
Check out the new video clips of Munsey and Boda posted on YouTube.
Munsey and Boda are almost 17 months old and last week they weighed in at 290-300 lbs each. Munsey discovered his first frog in the Woodland Habitat Area at Wildwood Zoo. Most every morning between 10:00 am- 12 noon you can find the cubs bathing and splashing each other in the four to six foot deep pond located in the wooded section of the bear exhibit.
I highly recommend you check out the educational programs that are offered at Wildwood Zoo! This activity helps me keep up with new information about the cubs growth and other interesting facts on the cubs.
The cubs enjoy hunting for their snack after they’ve had their breakfast and lunch. The zoo staff often hides the snacks in interesting places, so the bears develop their problem solving skills and it make life a little more interesting and exciting if the cubs have a special treat that’s always hidden or placed in a new location.
Boda (above) and Munsey really enjoyed their berry popsicle!
In the near future I’ll be creating new greeting cards and informational / photographic books on the growth and activities of Munsey and Boda. Two of my books and a selection of 20 different greeting cards can be purchased at the Wildwood Zoo store. Store hours are from 10:00 am-3:30 pm. During the summer months Wildwood Zoo opens at 7:30 am and closes at 7:30 pm.
