When we have an opportunity to look closely into their eyes of most animals e.g., primates, wolves, bears, our own pets, etc. we can sense intelligence and feeling looking back. Eight years ago the Detroit Zoo acquired three male grizzly cubs rescued in Alaska when their mother was shot by a poacher. We were fortunate to have a large habitat to accommodate them. When they arrived they were playful, 125 lb. cubs. They are now huge boys, still playful, but weighing from 880 lb. to 990 lb.
