Chahinkapa Park Zoo, Wahpeton, ND

This zoo is a perfect example of how bigger is not always better.  This is a small zoo, but we had a great experience there. We were there during many of the animals training times. The zookeeper was great to take time to answer questions and explain everything to the girls.
Those bears in the photos are a brother and a sister. They were rescued, when their  mother was killed by a train in a populated area. People  in the area had been feeding the bears and they became too comfortable.  The mother was killed and many other bears had to be euthinized in this area.
