Maymont Park Bear

Virginia's Largest Mammal

Ursus Americanus
This bear is in an enclosure at Richmond's Maymont Park.

I never used to like zoo exibits of bears. Smokey's cage in the National Zoo was depressing. On the way home from Williamsburg we stopped in Richmond's Maymont Park where two bears live on a tree filled hillside. This one was napping in a tree but stood up briefly, allowing me the opportunity to get this photo.
