It’s #HappyBearsDay and we’re celebrating our favorite grizzly girl, Tundra! 🐻
After a cozy winter season, Tundra is out of her den and soaking up the sunshine in her habitat.

Rescued as a cub, Tundra has spent her life here at the Zoo thriving under expert care. From splashing in the water to foraging for snacks and exploring new enrichment, she’s the definition of a happy bear!

Come stop by and watch her do what she does best—being the queen of Harmony Hill!
