Since I’ve been documenting the rescued Kodiak bear cubs since October 2015, I’ve taken thousands of photographs. So when I over heard the zoo staff talking about the dental health of the bears, I thought I might be able to provide a some assistance.
I returned to my computer and began looking for photographs that happened to of captured the bears with their mouths open and teeth exposed. I then labeled each image file to include the word teeth, so the images would be easy to retrieve and share with the zoo staff. These images assist the zoo staff with a better understanding of the growth and dental health of the bears over a period of time.
