 Birch's Blaze -  LP Zoo

An American black bear, I

Am called Birch by friends and I do

Have lots of black fur in supply

Here at home in Lincoln Park Zoo.

But like my Asian cousins, there

Is a white fur patch on my chest,

Shaped like a crescent moon I share

With all who visit as my guest.

I hear visitors often ask

About my chest blaze that I've got.

I leave visitors to the task

Of researching my white shaped spot.

Why's there a white patch that I show?

Inquiring minds do want to know.
