It’s hard to believe that these two brothers collectively weigh around 1,610 lbs. with that amount of weight and the incredible amount of strength these two Kodiak bears have, I wouldn’t want to get in-between them while they’re giving each other a bear hug!
Munsey and Boda appear to enjoy wrestling with each other in the pond located in the Bear Woods section of the habitat area.
Munsey and Boda also enjoy playing with beer keg that floats around the pond.
Boda has once again taken to the tree’s in hopes of retrieving those tender buds and branches to snack on this morning. Boda is 840 lbs. and it’s unbelievable as to the heights he climbs most mornings. The tree’s must be incredibly strong to withstand Boda’s weight.
While observing Boda the past few mornings, I noticed that the tree branches don’t make any cracking sounds from the weight of this three year old Kodiak bear until he begins his descent back to the ground. As much as I love watching Boda climb high up into the tree’s, I’m hoping he stops climbing very soon because I’m a little concerned about him falling out of the tree.
There appears to be a smile on Boda’s face as returns to the ground after he’s dropped a large branch with tender buds, down to the ground to snack on with his brother Munsey.
Register to participate at the Be the Bunny Event held at Marshfield Wildwood Zoo held on March 25th at 10:00 am!
This bear basket is just one of many silent auction items that you can bid on to help support the Marshfield Wildwood Zoo!
My latest book title “Branch Management” is included in the bear basket, along with other Munsey and Boda themed products, including 10-greeting cards, 1- journal, 3- 5″x 7 “photographs, 1 bear book and two stuffed bears.
Munsey and Boda must have a craving for those tender new leaves growing on the trees because the boys are once again climbing to great heights to get a nibble on the second full day of Spring.
This is a photograph of Boda , as he straddles on a relatively small tree branch. Boda now weighs 840 pounds and still manages to mobilize all that weight 30 plus feet up the tree!
Munsey’s weight is 760 pounds. While I was observing the bears today Munsey didn’t climb much more than three feet up the tree trunk. This isn’t unusual for Munsey, he’s always had a tenancy to not climb as high up into the tree tops as his brother Boda.
If your interested in stopping to visit Munsey and Boda and hope to see them tree climbing then stop in and visit them at the Marshfield Wildwood Zoo in by around 10:00 -11:00 am.
