Peak, a male brown bear cub, is being housed temporarily in the Alaska Zoo's former elephant house. Zoo executive director Pat Lampi says Peak came to the zoo in October from near an oil field camp at Beluga.
He stays with fellow orphan cub Heidi, right, who joined him earlier this month from the Hyder area. Each bear weighs about 59 pounds, less than average for their age.
They're available for public viewing through the winter before being housed more permanently at the Memphis Zoo.
