Description

Adopt Yonnie!
Yonahlossee (aka Yonnie) was born at a facility out west. On April 13, 1999, at approximately three months of age, Yonnie and her adopted brother, Kodiak, flew to Charlotte, N.C., where they were met by their new keepers. From the moment she was acquired, it was obvious that she would be extremely high-maintenance and very feisty. She attacked Kodiak constantly during the ride to their new home. She was named after the Cherokee word, meaning “trail of the black bear.”

Even as an adult, Yonnie is still very high-maintenance and has a lot of attitude. She loves hanging out with Kodiak, whining loudly at her keepers and tree-lounging. She has been known to pick on the other bears and then hide behind Kodiak for protection when they come after her. She is fond of expressing her lack of patience with her keepers by whining loudly and incessantly. In the past, Yonnie has given birth to several sets of cubs. She loved her babies immensely and could be seen playing games with them regularly.

Adopt at any level and know your animal—and you—will be well cared for. Celebrating a birthday or special occasion? Adoptions make great gifts, too.
