BC Wildlife Park

While we have seen many animals in the wild, we felt the lack of a really close shot of a bear, a grizzly and and maybe a cougar?  So, we made a visit to the BC Wildlife Park just out of Kamloops.  The greatest buzz were the pair of grizzlies who are siblings and get on very well - they were bathing in their swimming pool. They were incredibly cute and playful.









I think this one is the male.











The black bear.






It was their feeding time. Here he is getting his food from a post.











Bald eagle.






And another bald eagle but he has lost one wing. The animals at this park are generally ones that have been rescued and can't live in the wild due to some injury.





A pair of wise looking owls.


Racoon.  Sadly the bars do not allow really good photography.


We have not been able to get a shot of a moose with nice big antlers.  This female is the best we could do.





Finally, the mighty cougar.  This one is the female. The male was bigger but he he was more elusive.
