Presentation:

 

• When little Cyclone arrived in New York he was a rather funny little fluffy thing. Two big black eyes sparkling like jet beads and a little nose absurdly short for a bear. His high shoulders and dangerous claws were an exception. He had the true grizzly spirit. The Bears’ Nursery at the New York Zoological Park is a big yard with a shade tree, a tree to climb, a swimming pool, three sleeping dens, and a rock cliff. It always contains around six to eight cubs.

 

• It is considered a good test of courage and temper to put a new bear into that noisy crowd. A newcomer is usually intimidated and turns scared and timid. However, grizzlies are different, they are courageous and fearless. When little Cyclone’s travelling box was opened and he found himself in the Nursery, he boldly walked to the centre of the stage and stood.

• There was an aura about him that spoke power and he looked around him and visually challenged anyone who dared to dominate him. Little Czar, a cheeky but good-natured European brown bear cub made the mistake of attacking Cyclone. Cyclone’s hit made Czar regret his decision and off fled Czar.

 

• Next came a black bear cub, twice the size of Cyclone, but he too was met with the same intensity of Cyclone’s fierce blows. He shamefully quit the field and scrambled to the top of the cliff. Cyclone meticulously met every attack and that was made upon him. Within an hour he had established his authority and all the bears feared him.

• Since that day, Cyclone is treated with respect. Cyclone being the fine-spirited, dignified little grizzly he is, attacks no one, and has never had a fight.
