Animals - June 2011

They say, a carrot a day helps with eye sight... but I believe in this case, this carrot stick is an 'enrichment toy.'
Given to see how a polar bear could hold on to and enjoy such a small skinny treat and ENJOY the task. I was surprised to watch him chew on this carrot for 15 mins. I thought for sure he would of 'gobbled' it up in seconds!

It's probably not as tasty as some things he would like to be eating, so he didn't gobble it down quickly!

Fantastic capture of him enjoying his "treat"! :) #9484708
