Kalluk
(The Athlete)
This youngster is full of boundless energy and enthusiasm. The largest
of our four bears, he is both handsome and impressive to look at. Like
a typical kid, he plays with and throws anything he can get his paws
on, and loves to belly flop into the pool. He is especially fond of wearing
enrichment items on his head—from burlap sacks to palm fronds, he makes
quite the fashion statement!
