Munsey and Boda
Munsey and Boda
A few months ago I contacted the people involved in the rescue of Monsey and Boda, as well as the newspaper in Alaska that was involved in writing the first article on the Kodiak cubs. The reporters had requested to use a few photographs that I’d sent to them because they decided to write a new article that updated the public on the relocation of the Kodiak cubs. The link below will connect you to the second news article written about Munsey and Boda.

This morning I spent a few hours photographing Munsey and Boda. When I arrived at Wildwood Park and Zoo, the bears were inside eating while the zoo staff cleaned the outside habitat area. I spent 30 minutes photographing a few of the other zoo animals, hoping that Munsey and Boda would make an appearance during my zoo visit. So, I was thrilled to see the cubs emerge from their man made den this morning. I spent almost two hours photographing the cubs play tag, hunt for their hidden treats and wrestle with each other in the snow. I was hoping that I’d catch the cubs outside because I hadn’t hadn’t seen them in almost three weeks. I had become so accustomed to seeing the cubs almost every day that those three weeks felt like three years. I would have continued to take more photographs for another hour but my fingertips began to hurt from being exposed to the elements. I’ve posted a few photographs from this mornings visit at the zoo.
