Her Bum Wobbles When She Walks

Grizzly Bear; click to enlarge After breakfast, M and I stopped in at the grizzly enclosure on Grouse. It was already hot at 10:30 and just getting hotter. One of the grizzlies was cooling off in the pond. Smart bear!

She dunked herself a few times in the water and clamoured out on to a log. It's not the Kruger Park (see Sweni Road March 2010) but it is still a thrill to see a grizzly bear up close. Her lethal claws are as long as my fingers.

She lumbered past me. With her rear clearly in view I noticed she had quite a swagger or, as I overheard a fellow tourist comment, "Her bum wobbles when she walks." After the briefest of pauses the tourist added, "Just like mine." I smiled and M chuckled.

I love it when, as women, we are humorously honest with ourselves.
