Around Ohio
Every year, the Columbus Zoo creates a luminous display of Christmas lights throughout the zoo. While these are best viewed at night, I planned my recent tour to include enough daylight hours to visit the animals as well. Some of the animals are moved elsewhere during the winter, but many of them remain at the zoo.
The brown bear below didn't seem to mind the cold weather at all. While I watched, it playfully rolled over on its back in the snow.
Polar bears, such as the one below, are native to climates even colder than the day I visited the zoo. Their layers of thick fur insulate them from frigid air and ice-cold water. This bear almost looks as if it were grinning.

They look so cuddly! Much bigger than teddy bears:)
Very, very COOL picture of the polar bear on snow!
Winter - must be the polar bear's favorite season.
