Those fluffy, fun loving, frolicking Pookies residing at Seattle’s Woodland Park Zoo were in the NooZ yet again! It seems that they provided some “unexpected” science and nature lessons on the food chain for a group of elementary school age kids having a birthday party at the zoo.
What can we say, except that bears ARE at the top of most food chains?
Fun fact: This incident was a question on last week’s NPR Wait Wait, Don’t Tell Me! NooZ quiz show. Needless to say, I was jumping up and down yelling, “I KNOW! I KNOW! ASK MEEEEEE!!!” Are bears fun or what?
Fun Fact 2: Bai Yun was reported to occasionally grab a low flying Mallard duck out of the air, for a between meal snack.
Pandarella will return on Tuesdays, for more of our very exciting adventure story starring Bikkie!
Be the Bear
Bob T bet you can’t eat just one Panda
Ling Ling aka the female Nixon panda was one of the best mouse catchers in the Zoo. Of course when we were doing panda watches in the 80’s there wasn’t internet so we volunteers were the only witnesses
Ha! That is great! Obviously she didn’t get them all, since they must have been Larry’s great great great great great great great great great great great great great great grandparents.
Sweet Pookies, in the future please stick with your approved diet of fruits, nuts, veggies and bugs. This will avoid future zoo goers being traumatized and jumping into your habitat.
Junipook: but…but…I LIKE duckies!
Pookiefern: yeah! bears will be bears!
