Polar Ballplayer

The Toledo Zoo's polar bear twins, Kallu and Kallik were born in November, 2022. Molly Merrow, over at Polar Bear Friends, reported that Kallik loves the water and Kallu often stays dry. On that basis, I'll say Kallik is the ballplayer in these photos from February, 2024. Flipbook action is available: Click one of the photos and then cycle through them.
