  1. Taking someone's freedom away for our own entertainment. Why would we still need to explain why that's wrong in 2026? 💔

    I see an animal who is clearly suffering, mentally. And then I struggle to see what's so entertaining about that at all.

  2. Parenting can sometimes feel like a universally shared experience, even when it comes to fur parents.

  3. 💁🏻‍♀️ TIL: 🐻🐻‍❄️ On August 3, cameras caught a rare silver-furred brown bear cub yawning in the grass at #Katmai National Park in #Alaska.

    Park ranger Sarah Bruce and biologist Michael Saxon explain the coloring comes from natural genetic variation, not a #polarbear hybrid. The six-month-old cub faces steep odds, since rangers estimate 33-50% of spring #cubs do not survive to their first year.

  4. I wanted to recreate the unexpectedly hot mascot I saw on the side of a van. Don't worry, he's here to check out your AC/freezer/backdoor. Top notch service, with a smile!

  6. In Prague, They’re Putting the Polar Bears on Ice

    Keepers at Prague Zoo used tons of ice on Thursday to give its animals some much-needed relief…

  7. Figure Eights

    The internet has decided that modern humans are developing zoochosis, the madness of caged animals. The claim is older than TikTok, and the truth underneath it is more uncomfortable than either the believers or the scoffers want it to be. For most of the 1990s, the most famous resident of the Central Park Zoo was a 700-pound polar bear named Gus who spent up to twelve hours a day swimming the same figure eight through the same small pool. Back and forth. The same loop, traced into the water until it wore a groove in the day. Reporters called him neurotic, depressed, flaky, and bipolar, and New Yorkers half-adopted him as a mascot for their own condition. In 1994 the zoo paid an animal behaviorist twenty-five thousand dollars to find out what was wrong, and the verdict passed into legend. Gus, the behaviorist said, was bored and mildly crazy in the way that a lot of people in New York are. The zoo redesigned his habitat, hid his food inside blocks of ice, gave him toys, and made him the first zoo animal in recorded history to be put on Prozac. The swimming eased. It never fully stopped. Until the day he died in 2013, there were afternoons when Gus would throw himself back into the water and trace the loop again, and again, and again. […]

  9. Ursine love, part 2. I was in a melancholy mood when I saw these guys in their toy bin, and I thought of how pandas and polar bears are both threatened by climate change. So I took their photo and situated them in a Mordor-like hellscape where they could console and comfort each other, like Sam and Frodo at the end of all things.

    Not my best work but I’m fond of it.😅

    “Stofftier” / Stuffed animal

    Ursine love.💕

    These guys were at the top of a bin of stuffed toys in an IKEA store. I was surprised to feel quite moved by the way they seemed to be comforting each other. I liked this scene so much that I created some (bad) photo art around it, which I’ll post in the comments.

  11. Arctic drilling is a climate gamble and a poor investment. Smart companies should know the risks. The Refuge is irreplaceable. It should be protected, not leased.
