Munsey & Boda – Summer Activities

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.

Munsey & Boda (April 17th)

Filed under: Fine Art, greeting cards, JP Adler Kodiak Bear Exhibit, Marshfield Wildwood Park and Zoo, Marshfield Wisconsin, Munsey and Boda, photographic bear book, photography — Leave a comment
April 19, 2016

I spent 6 hours photographing the cubs on April 17th.   Munsey and Boda  each weigh about 230 pounds.  When the cubs arrived in October of 2015  Munsey was 120 pounds and Boda was 130 pounds.  As Munsey’s weight is slowly catches up to Boda, Munsey has become equally aggressive and will initiate some rough housing.  Munsey also feels more confident about   grabbing a chunk of watermelon from Boda and  Munsey is the cub that has discovered  how to retrieve chunks of pineapple from the bottom of the swimming pool.  At this time it’s easy to identify Munsey because he has a darker brown coat of fur while Boda has a honey blond  fur on his rear quarters.

A selection of 19 different photographic greeting cards of the cubs and my first photographic book titled  Munsey & Boda  9 to 13 months, is now for sale and if anyone is interested please contact me.  The book has 20 pages of full color photographs that are dated so the reader can see the development of cubs as they are growing.  The book also offers a variety of information about the cubs and their weight and  other information that describes the  weight changes and characteristics of the cubs as they’ve developed since they arrived in October 2015.

Munsey is in the water retrieving the pineapple, while Boda walks in the edge of the pool.  Munsey captures his pineapple!

The staff at Wildwood Zoo hide snacks for Munsey and Boda in a variety of places throughout  the JP Adler Kodiak Bear Exhibit and Woodland habitat area to challenge the cubs to problem solve and learn new skills.  Munsey is shown in the center photograph attempting to reach a banana that’s been placed out of reach!  Munsey did capture the the banana by jumping up and grasping it from the crevice in the rock where it had been placed.

Boda is shown in the photograph climbing the tree to retrieve his pineapple. One of Boda’s strengths is in tree climbing.

 

Zoo guests are entertained by watching the cubs play tag with each other, swimming, bathing  or taking nap in the Woodland habitat area.
