Sitting on the dock of the bay watching the tide roll away - Grizzly sits in San Francisco watching the tide of visitors.

This just reminded me of that song by Otis Redding "Sitting on the Dock of
the Bay". The San Francisco Zoo sits right on the ocean so the title seemed appropriate. When we walked up to the Grizzly exhibit in the San Francisco
Zoo she was just sitting there watching people come and go. For some reason the song just seemed to fit. It was hard to tell who was enjoying the view more. Us or her. She put on a pretty good show during the time we were there and we got many good shots of this young Grizzly, yes young, just showing off for the crowd of people who
where there cheering her on.

This is the California State Symbol and offical Mammal and yet we do not have any wild in the state. This bear and her sister were considered problem bears in Montana and set to be destroyed when the San Francisco Zoo stepped in and offered them a permanent home.
