The hot wire that’s been protecting the observation window located in the JP Adler Kodiak Bear Exhibit area have been removed! About two months ago the hot wire was placed around all the observation windows to prevent Munsey and Boda from licking and eating the sealant placed around the new observation windows. Now that a new protective coating has been applied to the original sealant the cubs are free to interact once again with all Wildwood Zoo guests.



I often wonder what is going through the minds of both the child and the Kodiak cub while they’re sharing a hug. This is Munsey sharing a hug with a young Zoo guest early Monday morning around 8:30 am.

The cubs love to interact with the zoo staff while they’re cleaning the glass of the observations windows.

Casandra ( pictured above ) informed me that a few weeks ago Munsey and Boda had found a raccoon in the Bear Woods. Needless to say, the raccoon turn out to be an additional snack for the cubs that day.
Munsey and Boda now weigh 400 to 423 pounds. The cubs are now 20 months old and Munsey weighs in at 400 pounds, while Boda’s weight is 423 pounds. These photographs were taken on Monday October 2nd.
