Hiroki was bathing in the pond. The canter came closer to smell the scent, and we started playing around, touching each other's mouths. Unlike when it's a real fight, it feels more like a pretend wrestling match, with less effort. (Sometimes, the force gets stronger and it becomes like a fight.)

Right now, it's bear rut season, and you can see bears moving around in a wide area, bears following behind the bears they're interested in, and lots of fighting and marking, all of which is typical of this time of year.

It's also interesting to pay attention to and observe the relationships between bears! [Keeper: Ito]
