Griffith Park Bear Statue

This bear cub statue was "presented to our sister city, Los Angeles by the people of free Berlin." Although it's uncertain when it was installed here, it seems to have been made by Renee Sintenis, a German sculptor and graphic artist from Berlin. (An identical baby bear can be seen on Berliner Allee in Düsseldorf-Friedrichstadt, Germany.) You can see the bear statue on the corner of Los Feliz Blvd. and Fern Dell Dr. at the start of the Fern Dell nature trail. (Submitted by Katja Engstrom)
