[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
This bear must beg for peanuts. The lady selling peanuts kept waving bags at the four large bears. One by one, three stood up and begged. What she wanted was me to pay for the peanuts to throw. Eventually, she threw them herself and left. The bears open the cellophane and eat the tiny snack. This one refused to cooperate, and sat waiting for a chance to grab a bag from those willing to work for peanuts. He got one in the end from the lady. After waving them around, she had to feed this bear too, to insure they would always amuse the tourists. I am not sure this is good, but since the bears look totally bored, maybe it is not as bad as I feel. It gives them something to wait for each day in the Saigon Zoo.

Hi Gloria, This looks like a lovely bear. From the cut on the rump it looks injured. Any idea?

Technical your photo is not very good. Sorry. Either you or the bear moved when you took it. I get this results still so don't worry. I normally take two or three shots of the subject... one should be sharp. ;) Try it!

Hi Gloria. Long time no see! I agree, this one is not really sharp, but the enormous mass, so close to you must have been impressive. I doubt he was shaking, so it must be you :-). I wouldn't want to be a bear in Saigon's zoo! Seems you are still travelling in Asia (as far as I remember from TE). Hope to see more of your nature shots here in the future. Regards.

Cute! I love this sweet bear with his nice, wet nose :-)

Unfortunatly the bear is out focus, and Bg seems to be overexposed.
You'll make it next time.
TFS.
