Video Script:: 

[Music] the reason I've got her in my house at the moment is we haven't actually finished building the cabin nursery she's the one that's calling the shots when she's hungry she wants to feed and when when she's not she wants to play or sleep actually gains confidence she's gonna become a handful just got already got an element of you can't take your eyes off her [Music] there's a reason why bears haven't been domesticated over the years like these guys who put the term in here we go [Music] she needs more and more stimulations it's a priority to finish that in closer [Music] naturally in the wild and should be ripping open trees looking for insects and bugs and termites so part of the reason they have those huge claws is exactly this [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] oh my god you could go slightly crazy here so this is a jackfruit and this is the first one she's ever had [Music] this your thing now jumping you see it's not an easy catch by back she keeps thinking about jumping that's terrified at her weight Mary is a force to be reckoned with she pushes the boundaries a little she knows she gives me glances all the time like the recite raids ones thinking and if I can get away with that so she's just full of life that's the best way you can describe it I've known a lot of us over the years I just think Mary's an amazing little bear she's having a fulfilled quality of life where she gets to behave like a real something [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause]
