A moment later one of the cubs came begging for milk (not successful though) so I think in reality the sow was just tired, I mean four playful cubs is a lot. :D Having visited many zoos around the world, I can testify that Järvzoo is one of the better ones. I can't remember I've ever seen the Järvzoo mammals display stress behaviour, but I do feel sorry for many of the birds, for example the hawk owl that was flying around and trying to break through the netting.

Then again, not all of them seemed to be overly bored or stressed or such, in some cases quite the opposite. To be brutally honest, I was over hyped with my precious new toy to be too much bothered :( I think I will continue in my own blog on this subject...
