Mrs. European Bro,on Bear at Zoo
Has Ne,o Family; Guess HOw Many?
Keeper Blackburn, Taciurn and Kno,Uing, 4,Uaits
Coming of Spring Days for Introduction
TO Little Strangers Born January 8.

William Fl. Black burn, taciturn and
knowing head keeper at the Zoo, has
quite a surprise coming to him along
about in mid-April or early May.
Some pleasant Spring morning soon
old Mrs. European Brown Bear is go
ing to trot out her newest family (she
has already had three) and then the
knowing Mr.. Blackburn will know
just just how many children there are
in this new family of the shaggy
haired Mrs Bear.
For, be 1t known, although all the
Zoo knows Mrs. Bear has a family,
no One. but she and Papa Bear know
just how many children there are or
how they are thriving, for no one else
has seen them. Strange sounds COM
ing from the rear of the rocky scave
wherein the little European brown
bear family lives tell the Zoo folks
that Mrs. Bear has had a visit, but
Mr.. Blackburn is much too wise in
the ways of the animal folk to at
tempt to interrupt the early bringing
up Of the little youngsters so new on
the earth.
They were born January s. as near
as Zoo attendants can figure out, and
Evening star., 1925-01-26

they won't be seen until some warm
Spring morning, when their shaggy
mother will lead them out to the
strange world beyond the door OF
their cave home. For mamma bears
aren't fond of having humans touch
their little ones, and to go near a
mother bear with children in the dead
of Winter, when bears ordinarily are
cross and grouchy even without chill
dren to bother them, might lead to
trouble. So wise Mr.. Black burn has
decided to let Mrs. Brown Bear keep
her secret until she volunteers to
show the world her family.
All the rest of the Zoo folk, with
the exception Of the Rocky Mountain
sheep and goats. buffalo, foxes and
wolves are enjoying the Winter. But
most of all the polar bears enjoy
the cold weather. They have for
gotten the days last Summer when
they lay out on the concrete floor of
their cage and painted for breath, and
revel today in the cold normal of the
northland whence they came. While
below them the seals from San Fran =
cisco Bay disport themselves in their
big tank unmindful of the cold
weather.
