Kenda

One of the coolest things about the EcoTarium is Kenda, the polar bear.  She is more than 25 years old and in excellent health - and according to everything that I've read, very well taken care of!  She seems quite content and even responds to her name.  We got the chance to see her play and swim the other day and we were truly fascinated by her, once again.

Playing in the water with her toys.

Stretching.

Rubbing her eyes.

Scratching her back (you can see the tufts of fur that came off).

Pausing after a nice, refreshing drink.

Going for a walk.

Heading back to her "cave" for food.
