Welcome to the Houston Zoo’s FOTO FRIDAY Caption Challenge results post from Friday, July 22!

Last Friday, we posted a photo on Facebook and asked you to leave your best caption in the comment section. Then readers could “like” each caption comment to vote for their favorites. Their votes, combined with those of our own panel, determined the caption to appear under the picture right here on the Official Houston Zoo Blog this week. We hope you’ll come back for the fun EVERY FRIDAY.

YOUR VOTES HELP DETERMINE THE WINNERS!

Here is the picture that was posted on Facebook last Friday, with the top voted caption by Barbara Blanchard Reed !!! (insert Grizzly roar!)

DID YOU KNOW:

Grizzly bears, native of Alaska, western Canada and the northwestern United States, are second in size only to polar bears.  Grizzlies are omnivores, eating both plants and animals.   Both the Zoo’s naturalistic spectacled bear and grizzly bear habitats feature a flowing watercourse and pool, natural grass substrate, climbing features and additional shade.  Come on in and visit them soon!
