    I’m pleased to read it’s one of the caregivers who was working with Zelle at the Quebec Zoo Sauvage /Zauvage de Saint Felicien so it’s not just language but a familiar face.

    One commenter on social media asked if Yelle knew English.

    “Yes,” a zoo representative posted.

    Learned French then English, that’s a damn smart bear
