Polar Bear!

Jared LOVES polar bears, and I was soooo disappointed he wasn't at the zoo with Connor and I recently (CJ and I were there for a preschool field trip and J and Em were at school), because we arrived at the polar bear exhibit just in time for feeding time, which meant that instead of sleeping up on the hill where you can't see him/her, the polar bear was actually swimming around in the water, totally visible from the viewing areas. It was AWESOME. Standing by the glass seeing polar bear feet on the other side the size of your head is pretty incredible, as well as witnessing this HUGE bear tiptoeing along a skinny ledge to lap up food floating in the water...

This was the best picture I managed to get through the thick glass, the large crowd, the cloudy water, and a very swift-moving polar bear! He/she was diving down for a fish that fell to the bottom.
