Munsey and Boda enjoyed themselves today during a rain storm. The cool rain is the type of weather the bear’s enjoy most.
Below is a link to a video of Munsey and Boda playing in the pool at Wildwood Zoo in Marshfield Wisconsin.

The link above is a news article regarding Steve Burns the zookeeper for Wildwood Zoo in Marshfield and his trip to Kodiak Island Alaska in connection with Munsey and Boda.
While I can’t post photographs of the wonderful campers that stopped in at my art studio today, I’d like you to look at the camp website to view a few photographs of the those campers that were guests in my art studio. The link to camp is: https://www.flickr.com/photos/camptimberlane/sets/
I look forward to visiting the campers in the near future, when stop in at Wildwood Park and Zoo this Summer. I look forward to sharing my knowledge of Munsey and Boda the two Kodiak bears.
I’d also like to thank all the other guests that have come to my art studio this weekend! I was thrilled to have returning guests! We chatted about the conversations we had last year and learned more about each other during their second visitation at the studio.
Below image “Catch of the Day” / little Intaglio etchings, hooked on the fishnets offers studio guest a selection of original prints that are reasonably priced.
In the above photograph Munsey is on the right hand side and Boda is on the left hand side. Boda has a broader snout, while Munsey has a narrower snout.
A gentle nudge from his brother, indicates it’s time to wake up and play!
Munsey likes to touch his toes in the morning, while Boda likes to stretch and see if he can strip some bark off the tree that’s located in the JP Adler Kodiak Bear Habitat Area.
If I’m lucky Munsey and Boda will stop by the observation window and greet me!
Munsey and Boda now stand from head to toe at 7 feet in height and from front paws to toes they stretch 9 feet in length. Munsey’s weight is about 605 lbs. and Boda’s weight is about 620 lbs.
On the morning of June 22nd, 2017 the cubs were given a fruity ice snack after they finished their breakfast. They really seem to enjoy their fruity ice snacks!
An unexpected rainstorm hit around 9:15 am and Munsey grabbed his fruity ice chunk and went into the pool, hoping Boda wouldn’t be able to take his snack!
Check out these links to video’s of Munsey and Boda playing and eating on a rainy Thursday morning of June 22nd, 2017.

Munsey and Boda really enjoy their morning and afternoon snacks. A great time to see the Kodiak bear cubs get their snacks is right after breakfast, which is around 9:00 am and lunch is served around 2:30 pm.
After breakfast and snack time, it’s time for a major water fight! Munsey and boda love to splash and play aggressively in the Bear pond and the pool area located in front of the observation window at Wildwood Zoo in Marshfield, Wisconsin.
Munsey and Boda now stand at a height of 7 feet tall (measuring from hind legs to their head) and 9 feet in height if (measured from hind feet to front legs).
The cubs love to take a bath and splash each other in the pond located in the Bear Woods! They also love to eat any new cat tails planted in the pond. The head zoo keeper Steve Burns, had hoped that Munsey and Boda would allow the plants to grow but in 30 minutes time, the plants had been devoured by the cubs!
Munsey talent is to take a rock and place it on his snout and flips it into the air. He’ll also take a large stick and use it to scratch his chin, head and back.
Boda’s special talent is climbing high into the trees, sometimes 35 feet up into the trees.
Today Munsey and Boda offered zoo guest’s an up close and personal experience to interact via the large observation window at Wildwood Zoo in Marshfield, Wisconsin.
Both the young and the young at heart love interacting with Munsey and Boda!
Below is a link to when I was interviewed by WSAW Channel 7 news station. The wonderful camera man came to my home and we chatted about the bears for at least an hour and then went to the zoo and spent another another hour or more talking about the rescued Kodiak bear cubs, Munsey and Boda!
Thank you Channel 7 News Station for the great coverage on Wildwood Zoo and Marshfield, Wisconsin.
