Siku The Hunter - Lincoln Park Zoo Poem by Ima Ryma

By instinct, polar bear, Siku,
Regards a plastic tub as prey
Here at home in Lincoln Park Zoo.
The tub is his catch of the day.
Though Siku has never been out
In the wild, somehow he knows that
He is a seal hunter no doubt.
There's no seals in his habitat,
And so Siku does what's next best,
Using genetic hunting skill.
His giant paws are firmly pressed
For scoring a plastic tub kill.

A plastic tub fatality,
A mighty hunter Siku be.
