Can there ever be too much Fat Bear Nooz?
I sort of imagine Bob saying “WHAT??!?!?!” a little like Matt Damon did when he played Brett Kavenaugh on SNL.

We call upon our cub reporters, our “Bears in the Know” Frank and Mikey…
By the way, I am re-running the annual Encore Presentation of The Wizard of Wu over at my Substack space! Check it out. The posts will continue through next week so don’t miss any! Installment 2 is here!
I also wrote an amusing little fantasy about the REAL story as regards why Commander was banished from the White House.
Till next time,
Be the Bear!
Bob T I could win the fat bear contest if I really wanted to Panda
The fish breathe a sigh of relief, the bears loosen their belts, start looking for their jammies and teddy bears, and start to think about snuggling up as the days grow short and the air and snow blow through the cracks of their dens.
What do the bears think about all these people hanging on their every snack? About all these well heeled hikers and trekkers that make the difficult and expensive trip to see them in their fat, fuzzy glory?
I bet they think some of them look like pretty good eating, and maybe not as hard to catch as salmon.
Otis may not have won the competition this year, but he’ll always be Number One Bear in my book. Otis Abides.
I expect there will be a bit more commentary here on ZooNooz, from our favorite bears around the Hood, Frank and Mikey. Till then…
Be the Bear
Bob T time for a nap Panda
Can she help it if Otis is such a cutie pie?
I’m afraid to tell you, that Otis did not win this year’s completion. I think there is one more day to go, but he has already been eliminated. I know, I know, all bears are worthy, but geez…you’d think there could be more people who recognize Otis’s contribution to the Fat Bear Festivities. Maybe a lifetime achievement award?
Oh well…
Be the Bear!
Bob T Otis was robbed! Panda
Who says Fat Bear Week doesn’t have its share of intrigue?
Vote Early. Vote Often. Vote OTIS!!!
Be the Bear!
Bob T I have no secrets Panda
But we will not forget that the GQP was ready, willing and able to shut down the government, throw the economy into a tail spin as 100s of 1000s of people were put out of work, imperil national security and the TWO worst things of all: Shut down the zoo during the last month of panda proximity AND disable the Fat Bear Contest!!!!
Let’s face facts. In a few months the only panda cams we’ll have access to are the ones from China. We will not have pandas we can visit unless we can go to China or Europe, neither of which is an option for most of us. So, we must have other bears!
As an international celebrity, you should not be surprised that Otis (aka bear #480) had some thoughts about the possibility of the Fat Bear Festival being canceled.
There does seem to be a tradition here of bears addressing the halls of government! (Pinky: I was da first! don’t forget dat!)
Be the BEAR!!!
Bob T don’t make bears mad! Panda
What better way to sneak into the World of the Mouse, than by wearing a bear suit? I mean, I wouldn’t put it past the absentee governor who would be dictator president to pretend to be a bear and reconnoiter your enemy.
Or maybe it was just a bear who wanted to go on the It’s a Small World After All ride. At least it wasn’t an alligator!
Bears just want to have fun!
Be the Bear!

So many bears in the Nooz! I could not resist the story of a bear and her cubby breaking into a Krispy Kreme donut truck. I mean come on! Wouldn’t you? (gift link to the story)
Lordy! There are tapes!
Be the bear
Bob T pass the donuts Panda
I mean…should we be worried about where the car came from? About what happens when the pass through the tollbooth?
We just don’t know! I’ll be re-reading The Phantom Toll Booth over the weekend to figure out where my version goes next!
This is exciting, isn’t it?
Be the Bear
Bob T I’d never let anything bad happen to Bikkie Panda
Are you ready?
Hmmm… I’m not so sure this is a good idea…
I would be remiss if I did not point out that this is International Talk Like a Pirate Day! And as such, I must share a ‘toon from the archives…
I think I will have an encore presentations of this whole story over at my Substack tomorrow. Yo ho ho!
Be the Bear
Bob T avast me hearties Panda
