Bears
Not the greatest photographs but how could I resist sharing.
It was a day out to the local park with my daughters but I'll certainly be back armed with my DSLR.
The darker bear is male and the lighter is the female. They have a nice new big enclosure which is miles better than the old one.

A full grown male can weigh 460 lb and a female 330 lb. They may not be as big as other bears but at 8ft tall they're pretty impressive.

Brings a smile, doesn't it! Are they young animals do you know Phill? It would seem so unless this is a sort of courtship preamble.
Do go back with the DSLR and see what you can get, mind you if your luck is anything like mine they will be asleep.

Reckon that makes them adult, perhaps it was one of those days when it was good to be alive.
