Watch the Woodland Park Zoo Bears on Re-Launched “Bear Cam”

Woodland Park Zoo’s grizzly bear brothers are back in the Internet spotlight with the re-launch of the zoo’s popular live Bear Cam. The 24/7 live online video, made possible by the zoo’s exclusive partnership with Ustream, can be found at www.zoo.org/bearcam. Viewers can also choose to join in on the active social stream and chat room with other Bear Cam fans while tuning in at www.ustream.tv/woodlandparkzoo.

On a typical day, Woodland Park Zoo’s 17-year-old grizzly bear brothers Keema and Denali can be seen foraging for food, fishing for live trout and exploring the stimulating sights and smells in the zoo’s Northern Trail exhibit. The bears are especially active in the morning, around 10 to 11 a.m., and in the afternoon, around 2 to 3 p.m., particularly during the summer months.

Grizzly bears are an endangered species in the lower 48 contiguous United States. Woodland Park Zoo partners with the Grizzly Bear Outreach Project to protect bears and teach local communities how to live in harmony with the animals.
