Over the weekend, Brookfield Zoo introduced polar bear Anana to her new partner for mating season. In the meantime, Lincoln Park Zoo's goats and swamp monkeys had some Easter treats and toys.

In the video below, see Anana, a 12-year-old polar bear who recently arrived on a breeding loan from Buffalo Zoo. She has been getting acclimated to her new habitat at the Great Bear Wilderness exhibit as well as her new mate Hudson, Brookfield Zoo's 6-year-old polar bear.
