00:01Hey guys, I'm Jeff the Nature Guy at Zoo Montana, and today we're going to talk about best friends.
00:06Best friends, like me and you.
00:08That's even though we're besties, I'm talking about grizzly bears, like the ones you work with every day.
00:32So today we're going to talk about best friends, and two of the best friends we have here at Zoo
00:36Montana are Ozzy and Bruno.
00:39And Ozzy came to us after being a trouble bear in Yellowstone. He's almost like a real-life Yogi the
00:44Bear.
00:44He was getting into trash cans, causing problems at campsites, and came to us not looking so good.
00:51And after he came to the zoo, our whole job was to acclimate him to living here at Zoo Montana.
00:56But the problem was, is he was pretty scared of noises. Trucks, airplanes, things that might scare you at night,
01:02scared Ozzy the same way you might get scared when you're going to sleep.
01:06So here's the thing, is we decided to give him a best friend.
01:09Because when things are going bad, there's nothing like a friend to make you feel better.
01:24So we introduced him to Bruno, our big bear. He's a big boy, about 700 pounds.
01:29And when the introduction first happened, you can imagine things didn't start off so good.
01:33Bruno jumped on top of him, sat at him for two hours, and let him know, hey, I'm the boss.
01:38But guess what? Even though I'm the boss, I'm going to be your friend.
01:40And the two have been best buds ever since.
01:42You can watch him wrestle, you can watch him play, and the best thing is, it's helped Ozzy out.
01:47There's nothing like a best friend to make you feel better when you're scared at a new location, and Ozzy
01:52is a prime example of that.
02:13If you have a big brother, or a big sister, or even a little brother, or little sister, you know
02:17sometimes you need each other.
02:18And these two are no different.
02:20Nothing like a good friend to make you feel better when you're feeling down and out.
