Typical of a young bear, our little yearling chose to sleep high (very high) in one of the tall trees on his first night in Wild Enclosure #2. We wonder if this is on purpose to give the curators more grey hairs or, more likely, just because that is where they feel most comfortable and secure. Anyway, here is Tartan in his chosen tree.
