There was a National Geographic (I think) special about raising a pair of polar bear cubs, and once they hit about 60 pounds each, they really couldn't be handled any more. It bummed the bears out, but they eventually got over it. But it was sad to watch the keepers and the bears looking longingly at each other through bars or glass... Of course, you sort of wondered what the polar bears "saw."

That was Klondike and Snow. Wonderful documentary. The mother abandoned them and they were tiny, tiny, tiny when they were found. And you’re right, they seemed to be well adjusted polar bears swimming in their own houses at the end of the show.

It would be a good idea for the zoo keeper to keep in mind that is the way Trentwell felt about Grizzles. He saw a FRiend in the Grizzles, the Grizzles saw lunch.
