Whatever happened to Ben?

 

[The Fruity Hare]

The real name of the bear who played Ben was Bozo (a female bear). She was owned by Lloyd Beebe, a well known animal trainer who ran an animal compound in Sequim, Washington. Beebe discovered Bozo while working for a circus.

Contrary to the tales of grizzlies being ferocious, Bozo, was rather gentle and performed unleashed. Bozo was nine-years-old when the series started in 1977.
