Since the first day, Hazel has been the cautious one of the two bears. As you can see, she is incredibly playful, often tormenting and instigating with her sister Juniper, even when it is not reciprocated. Juniper is friendly, outgoing, and very trusting. She favors rest and relaxation but plays whenever Hazel insists she should! | Cincinnati Zoo & Botanical Garden

Happy Birthday to supermom Gladys! Gladys turns 13 today! First time moms don’t always know what to do. Gladys came to the Cincinnati Zoo from the Gladys Porter Zoo when she was a baby because her mom’s maternal instincts did not kick in. Gladys needed human surrogates and eventually a surrogate gorilla mom, so it's especially heartwarming to see her rocking motherhood! | Cincinnati Zoo & Botanical Garden
