Harry Experiences the Call of the Wild
Thursday May 27 2010
One of the best things about Memphis is that there are so many things to do. The Memphis Zoo just opened a new exhibit called Teton Trek. It’s dedicated to animals that live in the Northwest in places like Yellowstone Park. There are bears, wolves and elk, oh, my!
Cuddles and I went to the zoo and learned that bears in the wild usually take a long nap in the winter called hibernation, but the bears at the Memphis Zoo don’t have to sleep because of their year-round healthy diet. Most bugs like us slow down in the winter also. We are cold-blooded, so when the temperatures cool down, we slow down too! Thankfully it’s warming up here in Memphis, and the bears and we bugs are active as can be!
