Some little ones were on parade Thursday at the Tulsa Zoo. About a hundred 2 to 4 year olds were in bear costumes.

Then, they adopted teddy bears of their own. The YWCA sponsored the parade, hoping the children might learn the importance of caring behavior at a young age. Robin Green: "The idea behind it is that as you learn to role play kind and loving behavior, that's how you really begin to change, violent behavior."

The adopted teddy bears were donated by TU fraternities.
