WFL 64: Grizzly Bears At Your Toronto Zoo

I am joined by Andy Cockburn on today’s episode to discuss how the Keepers at the Toronto Zoo look after their grizzly bear population. Andy talks about how the bears came to the Zoo; the differences in size between males and females; the difference in weight throughout the year; and explains the difference between hibernation and deep sleep.    This episode is packed with great information on grizzly bears and how they compare to polar bears.
