Voda watches comfortably as her babies, Koda and Nuka, roughhouse together. Voda, the momma bear and her newest cubs Koda and Nuka, 6 month old boy cubs born in November, 2004, Denver Zoo, Denver, Colo., play together in the warm summer like weather cavorting with each other, a big ball in the water and a leftover red bucket down in the corner of the exhibit.. The general reaction was delight and amazement to watch the animals swim in the water. The zoo is open for summer hours 9am-6pm--M-Su.
