Andean Bears



Will and Rio are Andean Bears, the only species of bear found in South America. At the Phoenix Zoo, they reside in the "Forest of Uco" along the Tropics Trail. These two are mighty cute and they love peanut butter. We filled pinatas with it today for their BE, in honor of Dia Del Nino (Spanish holiday for kids apparently). Zoo attendance was around 10,000 for the event - it was crazy.

Vashti and Misto - the Saki Monkeys - are now sharing their exhibit with a large rodent called an Agouti who we officially named Frankie today. I like it. He looks like a Frankie.
