The black bears at Dickerson Park Zoo will get a special Thanksgiving treat on Tuesday, November 5, at 11 a.m. The bears’ caregivers have been busy preparing a bear-friendly buffet for the 7th Annual Beary Happy Thanksgiving.
“Their main caregiver will set up a picnic table, and it will be filled with all their favorite foods,” said Dickerson Park Zoo Spokesperson Joey Powell. “Fruits, you know, bears eat a lot of fruits. They’re going to have pumpkins and apples and squash, and they will have melons and strawberries and grapes.” Sometimes caregivers will add some honey for a special treat.
Anyone can go to the Bear exhibit to watch — regular zoo admission applies…
