立つブームがあるようだった(ふたりともやっていた)

YES! Well, there is Ben, the famed escape artist who had to be moved to a new Zoo because he's too good at escaping

and then there is Benji, the beautiful Tibetan brown bear who slays life with his good looks and luxurious coat

854 Divot, the bear with the snare. This is another big name bear at Brooks, and she has quite a story. A few years back, she got caught in an illegal wolf snare. She pulled herself free, but the snare wire continued to tighten around her neck. A decision was made that the park staff would intervene, as it was a human caused injury; and happily Divot was able to be tranquilized and freed of the snare wire, while her yearling cub looked on. You can actually watch a video of her rescue here (cw injured animal; they do show the wound): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n7sbqfgw8VI

Divot has gone on to thrive, and has had multiple litters of cubs since then, but she will forever bear the mark of the snare in the form of a scar ring around her neck.
