Andean Bear - Lincoln Park Zoo Poem by Ima Ryma

An Andean bear, this is me.
My spectacles on my dark coat,
Light markings on face and chest be
Wearing glasses look - some bear note.
The Andes Mountains are my home,
From high forests to deserts low,
Bearing losses in lands we roam,
Cuz humans kill us where we go.
We try to escape, climbing trees,
Building platforms to hide and rest.
I got lucky with life of ease,
Being a Lincoln Park Zoo guest.

I am here waiting just for you
To come visit me at the Zoo.
