Barrett and the tree

The trees in Bear World have protective sheeting wrapped around the trunks so that the bears cannot climb the trees. This is for the safety of the bears, and so to protect the trees, but sometimes the bears just wanna climb a tree. Barrett, one of the cubs, decided he was bound and determined to climb the tree in his exhibit and nothing, not even the sheeting was going to stop him. He began trying to jump high enough to get above the sheeting. When that obviously wasn't going to work, he started prying the metal off....silly bears...

A Brief Background

What does Yellowstone Bear World have to offer you may wonder…well how about a petting zoo full of adorable animals that just want some attention? Animals that aren’t usually found in petting zoos…Mule Deer, White-tailed Deer, Pigs, Turkeys, Chickens, Baby Deer, and Peacocks to boot! Besides the animals in the petting zoo, there are also six baby bear cubs who are just begging for attention. You can watch them while they play with each other, and you can even bottle-feed the cubs! The animals out in the drive-through area are individual, unique, and may surprise you with their antics and personalities. All of our animals were born in captivity, with the exception of Stiltz, the Moose, who came to us as a baby. Each animal has their own personality that is just waiting to be discovered!

Welcome!

We’ve all driven past Yellowstone Bear World, and a lot of us have even driven through the park to see all the animals, but have you ever wondered what goes on behind the scenes? What happens when the gates close, the lights go out, and those adorable bears have “gone to bed”? Well then you’re in the right place! This Blog is dedicated to all those events that will make you smile, laugh, and want to visit Bear World over and over again. Come back and read the blog and see what mischief we and our wild “co-workers” are up to!
