Grizzly and brown bears eat a celery snack in their pool habitat on the California Trail at the Oakland Zoo on Wednesday, June 20, 2018, in Oakland, Calif. More than two decades in the making, Oakland Zoo's highly anticipated California Trail opens to the public on July 12, 2018. The expansion more than doubles the current size of the zoo from 45 to 100 acres. Eight new native California animal species, each selected for their historical significance to California and status in the wild, have settled into their expansive new habitats, among the largest in the world and designed under the collaboration of animal behavior, wildlife, and habitat design experts. The California Trail will be home to American buffalo, grizzly, black, and brown bears, mountain lions, jaguars, California condors, gray wolves and bald eagles. (AP Photo/Ben Margot)
