Feeding the polar bears

That was a very unique experience today: we got to feed treats to two female polar bears at my hometown zoo! This is me feeding the matriarch (13 years old) under the watchful eye of its caretaker.

We had that exceptional opportunity thanks to the daughter of my best friend who has worked there for the past five years: it was new even to her!

It was amazing to get that close up, see the enormous paws, and measure up the size of the bear. I was in awe :)
