Grizzly Bear (Ursus arctos horribilis)

Kodi, a 700-pound grizzly bear, is the undisputed king of his spacious enclosure. Known for his love of water, Kodi became famous for dragging massive logs into his pond, creating floating platforms he uses to lounge during summer heatwaves. Visitors are captivated as he splashes, dives, and even performs playful antics on his homemade rafts. Kodi's behavior is not just entertaining but highlights the importance of enrichment in zoos, allowing animals to engage in creative play. His pool area has now been expanded to include waterfalls and deeper sections to encourage his water-loving ways, making him a favorite among families and photographers alike.
