Parents, now is the time to be on guard. We are once again reminding you to be diligent about checking your child's candy throughout the Halloween season. Our biologists have just found THREE invasive bighead carp rolled up and shoved inside an almond joy. We are appalled.

Congrats to 128 Grazer, our 2023 #FatBearWeek champion! 🥳 Though unaware of her title in this imaginary contest, her success is real! For bears, fat = success, & she's set up well for winter.
We had a record-shattering 1,382,783 votes! There's so much love for our bears! ❤️

Two (!) years of #glacier retreat on Rhonegletscher. Not just a bit of "normal" ice melting but the two most disastrous years for Swiss glaciers in history.
