Things I have learnt

It is my last night at the shelter. I have been packing all afternoon and am taking a well deserved break (read - I am nowhere near done but got distracted looking at pictures). So I thought I would share some more pictures highlighting some of the things I have learnt on this trip.

1) A grizzly bear with a milk mustache is one of the funniest/ cutest things I have ever witnessed

2) This is not the right way to hold a goose at all, but it does lead to some pretty cute pictures.

3) Apparently mares do not like it when you chase their day old foal around a field then hold it and refuse let go. (This is called imprinting and is very important to do in the weeks after a foal is born. It makes them much easier to handle and catch when they are older. I wasn't just chasing a foal for fun. I promise.)

4) From an early age, a few select deer have the urge to just take off and fly.

5) Sometimes baby bears mistake cameras for food.

6) And finally baby bears also like to pull silly faces in front of the camera. Just like some people do.
