Rest Well, Olaf!

Well now I’m officially bummed out … when I lived in Colorado and was a member of the Denver Zoo, one of my favorite stops when I visited was the polar bear exhibit. Olaf (I never knew his name until now) the polar bear was the star attraction when the baby polar bear cubs and their mother weren’t out playing. He was a popular attraction there, and he did plenty of amusing stuff: swimming, pounding the glass to spook kids, lounging, and so on.

Apparently Olaf died last Saturday. It’s weird — I actually have pictures of him from an old camera (a really old one Smiling) that I’m trying to dig up.

Well, rest well, you big old fuzzy bear! Thanks for always being a fun part of my visits to the zoo there.
