There has been so much media coverage of the Rio Olympics, that we thought we’d post about our own Gold Medal performance in the Bear Cub Olympics – Finnegan Bear, a star swimmer and diver! Finnegan was photographed at the Cubby Pool, which is a bit smaller than the Olympic pool, but after all, he is a bit smaller (and a different species, at that) than Michael Phelps.
The curators hadn’t seen him in the pool since the arrival of Andy and Eliza Bear, so it was good to see him back to the activity he enjoyed so much.

Finnegan – the Gold Medal Bear Cub!
Of course, we are being playful and silly, comparing the bear cub to the athletes in the Olympics. But we are sure that if there were a contest for bear cubs Finnegan would come out a winner! He has grown into a handsome young bear cub.
