Izzy, the zoo’s big male brown bear, is finally down for his winter’s nap. He is shown here playing with his foot and making sounds in his den. Zookeepers and biologists will be monitoring the brown and black bears this winter as they sleep, so stay tuned for periodic footage of them.

If you have a special place in your heart for brown bears Izzy and Oreo, you may be interested to know that you can sponsor their care at the $50, $100, $250, $500 or $1000 level. Funds from animal sponsorships go to our General Fund which is used to cover care and operations expenses for our nonprofit zoo. www.alaskazoo.org/animal-spon... - it’s a great holiday gift!
