Cool pictures!
About that bear...how did they get a 1/2 griz, 1/2 black bear?  I know in the wild it has happened, but it's very rare.
 
There is a place in Maine that I went to once.  That one visit was all I needed to see.  My mules have a bigger dry lot than their tigers cage.  A lot of the animals were in cages too small, and were displaying classic symptoms of stress; weaving, repeating the same behavior over and over and over again, and most of the animals looked miserable.  Especially the dead iguana.  I called over a keeper, and they tried to tell me it was "just sleeping".  That thing was dead, I'm absolutely sure of it.  No sign of breathing, sunken skin, every bone in its body sticking out from malnutrition.   My friend and I left the place just about in tears we were so upset.  It's frustrating, because you can go to places that are just fabulous with healthy animals and enclosures that are designed for the specific creatures living in them, and then you go to a hell hole like that.  At least the animals you posted look relatively healthy.

Speaking of "healthy", this made me giggle.




Long lost brothers?  They certainly have...ummm, similar features, lol!
