We went to "Bear Country" in South Dakota and it pretty much was the cutest tragedy I've seen. It was sweet for sure to be so close to all the animals but it kinda sucks to see 30 elk in a pen the size of my back yard. The little cub above was by himself just calling out by the pen fence. He was quite a bit smaller than the other cubs around so I figure he was recently separated from his mother.
