The Bears Take On The Dolphins! Chicago Zoo's Animals Begin Their Own American Football Season. The American football season is well underway, and animals at Chicago's Brookfield Zoo are getting in on the fun. If you've ever wanted to see a clash between Chicago's famous Bears and the Dolphins, well here they are - playing the game for real. Or at least enjoying their football-themed enrichment. Allie, a bottlenose dolphin at Brookfield Zoo Chicago seemed to take the Bears-Dolphins rivalry a little bit seriously, she's like Dan Marino in 1985! Allie stared down an inflatable Chicago Bears mascot—peering through a window in the Zoo's underwater viewing gallery. Tim the brown bear at Brookfield Zoo didn't want to let his side down and tucked into orange-coloured Bears-themed treats to support them. His ursine teammate Axhi - a veteran at 29 - did the same in support of the Bears. Although they have no NFL team named after them to support, Brookfield's two grey seals, Fisher and Mikey did not want to feel left out of all the fun, so they enjoyed football-themed ice and gelatin treats.
