Visitors to the Akron Zoo were delighted to watch on of the grizzly bears blissfully scratching its butt right by the viewing window. For all of the conservation work we do, all of the rehabilitation and rescue, all of the research, all of the educational resources we make available to the public, it still comes down to this: our ability to reach people and make them care about wildlife is determined by our ability to give them the opportunity to develop meaningful, personal connections with the individual animals in our zoos. Watching this bear butt boogy is a memory that these visitors will keep with them for a long time, longer than any nature documentary or website ever could.

"Bear Butt Boogy" at Akron Zoo
