Kalluk, the 1000 pound male polar bear, showing some basketball moves. Caught a short clip on video. He then trys to put the ball in a hole in the wall underwater. All the bears always check out this spot and spend endless time tying to put things in or take things out.
Kalluk is in the water and one female polar bear is resting on the deck. The other female bear comes around the corner and chases the resting female into the water. They fight/play till one escapes to a small ledge. The remaining female then goes after Kalluk. He has to lie down at the bottom of the pool to let the female know she “won”. She then floats up and the fight is over.
This is a long clip, close to 4 minutes.
Bai stops pacing and sits down for a few minutes while waiting for her caretakers to bring in fresh bamboo and treats.

Finally have learned my way around the zoo. Next time I come, want to spend some time watching the orangutans and the gorillas. A volunteer or employee was working with the above orangutan through the glass, blowing bubbles for her and doing other things to get her attention.
