We posted some of the birthday portraits that our photographer, Ken LaValley, took on the six-month-birthday of the cubs.  Today we have some additional ones.  Ken captured the mischievous spirit of the two little bears, as you will see.

Rollo Bear, resting on a limb of the tree.

Otto comes up to play with (or to bother) Rollo.

Is Otto getting ready to pounce on his buddy?

Hold on, Otto!

Rebuffed, Otto sucks his paw.

 Later, the two cubs rested in the tree, too hot to move.

You may have guessed that this last photo was taken by a curator, not by Ken LaValley.  We think the curators do an excellent job with their small camera, even if it doesn’t quite compare with Ken’s professional equipment.
