Pine Grove Zoo Future Little Falls, Minnesota

New Bear Cubs Coming
For 2009 Season

You loved them last season! They brought the new Bear Exhibit to life. Bear Country, USA, once again will be sending baby bear cubs to Pine Grove Zoo. The new bear cubs will be welcomed by “Jerry" & "Garrison”, the two male bear cubs from last year. They are already up for the year and causing trouble. The Bear Exhibit will be full this year because we also have our original bears, "Teddy” and “Yogi”. They, too, had a short hibernation and are out in the exhibit already. The 2009 Season starts in mid-April. Don’t miss out on all the fun that these bear cubs can provide.

New Animals Join Pine Grove Zoo Family

“Merry” is an 11 month old Cougar kitten. Merry was a wild caught orphaned kitten from Jackson, Wyoming. She was transferred to Pine Grove Zoo through the Chahinkapa Zoo in Wapheton, ND.

“Naughty”and “Nice” are two Bobcat kittens that arrived at Pine Grove Zoo this past Fall. They came from Washington Park Zoo, Michigan City, IN. “Naughty” and “Nice” are male siblings that are a year old.

“Karl” is a Sulcata Tortoise, 4 years old. A Sulcata Tortoise is the world’s third largest land tortoise. “Karl” was donated by Milo Anderson, a Zoo member from Elk River, MN. There will be a new tortoise exhibit this year located by the Bison Lookout.

Adding to the beauty of the Zoo will be Seven Pea Fowls better known as Peacocks. The Peacocks vary in genders and one is pure white. They were donated by Pete, June and Tom Brutscher. Watch for them roaming around the zoo!
