On Saturday, May 13th Munsey and Boda spent a few hours floating and playing with the metal beer keg in the pond located in the Bear Woods habitat area at Wildwood Zoo in Marshfield Wisconsin.
The Kodiak bear’s seemed almost well behaved as they shared the empty beer keg.
I often wonder if Munsey and Boda can smell the remains of the beer inside the keg.
Of course Munsey and Boda have to hug each other /wrestle each other in the water as well as on land! On their most active days the bears will play tag and wrestle with each other every 20 to 30 minutes. The interaction can last anywhere from 2 minutes to 10 minutes.
Since the bears have such a heightened sense of smell, I wonder if they can identify what their brother has eaten for a meal that day? The specific action between the two bears is considered a positive interaction.
