00:00Hey guys, I'm Jeff the Nature Guy at Zoo Montana

00:04and today we're going to talk about best friends.

00:06Best friends like me and you.

00:08Nancy, even though we're besties, I'm talking about grizzly bears

00:11like the ones you work with every day.

00:30So today we're going to talk about best friends

00:35and two of the best friends we have here at Zoo Montana

00:37are Ozzy and Bruno.

00:39And Ozzy came to us after being a trouble bear in Yellowstone.

00:42He's almost like a real life Yogi the Bear.

00:44He was getting into trash cans, causing problems at campsites

00:48and came to us not looking so good.

00:51And after he came to the zoo, our whole job was to acclimate him

00:54to living here at Zoo Montana.

00:56But the problem was, is he was pretty scared of noises.

00:59Trucks, airplanes, things that might scare you at night

01:02scared Ozzy the same way you might get scared

01:04when you're going to sleep.

01:06So here's the thing, is we decided to give him a best friend

01:09because when things are going bad,

01:10there's nothing like a friend to make you feel better.

01:24So we introduced him to Bruno, our big bear.

01:27He's a big boy, about 700 pounds.

01:29And when the introduction first happened,

01:31you can imagine things didn't start off so good.

01:34Bruno jumped on top of him, sat on him for two hours

01:36and let him know, hey, I'm the boss.

01:38But guess what?

01:39Even though I'm the boss, I'm going to be your friend.

01:41And the two have been best buds ever since.

01:42You can watch him wrestle.

01:44You can watch him play.

01:45And the best thing is, it's helped Ozzy out.

01:47There's nothing like a best friend to make you feel better

01:49when you're scared at a new location.

01:51And Ozzy is a prime example of that.

02:13If you have a big brother or big sister

02:15or even a little brother or little sister,

02:17you know sometimes you need each other.

02:18And these two are no different.

02:19Nothing like a good friend to make you feel better

02:21when you're feeling down and out.
