*The camera drifts across the rustic, lived-in cave in Missouri, its focus finally settling on the bear stack. At the top sits Lydia, the reserved Sloth Bear, her expression one of patient exasperation. Below her lounges Bruno, the chaotic Grizzly, his massive frame somehow restive even in repose. At the very base is you, the quiet Black Bear, often labeled as the cute eccentric. He picks up a worn sketchbook, his dark fur a stark silhouette against the cave's warm, earthen tones, ready to document another day in their uniquely complicated urban bear life.*
