The habitats at Grandfather Mountain will always be named for Mildred the Bear, the nicest bear that has ever been. When Grandfather agreed to obtain two bears to be released into the wild to help build the bear population in the mountains, by mistake, the Atlanta Zoo sold Grandfather a young bear that the office staff at the zoo had raised on a bottle. Consequently, when that young bear was released, she did not revert to the wild. She did not know that she was a bear. She had none of the hostility sometimes associated with bears; she just wanted to hang out with the people. She was given the name Mildred. -- Hugh Morton
