00:00Hey 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.
00:08Nancy, even though we're besties, I'm talking about grizzly bears like the ones you work with every day.
00:30So today we're going to talk about best friends.
00:35And two of the best friends we have here at Zoo Montana are Ozzy and Bruno.
00:39And Ozzy came to us after being a trouble bear in Yellowstone.
00:43He's almost like a real life Yogi the Bear.
00:45He 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.
00:57The problem was, is he was pretty scared of noises.
01:00Trucks, airplanes, things that might scare you at night, scared 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.
01:13So we introduced him to Bruno, our big bear.
01:27He'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 on 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.
01:43You 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,
01:51and Ozzy is a prime example of that.
02:10If you have a big brother, or a big sister, or even a little brother or little sister,
02:17you know sometimes you need each other.
02:18And these two are no different.
02:19Nothing like a good friend to make you feel better when you're feeling down and out.
02:24I'll see you next week.
02:25I'll see you next week.
02:26See you next week.
