Petting Zoo: Big Bears Chow Down on Big Veggies

Brown bears like J.B. and Patron at the Alaska Wildlife Conservation Center are omnivores - that means they eat plants and animals. In the wild, they snack on everything from berries to deer.

According to the center, a biologist rescued the young brothers after their mother was killed. They have been living at the center since 2004 and enjoy wandering about their area and catching fish in their stream.

And if they are lucky they get a big side of veggies after the state fair is through!
