what are you doing? When I pointed my camera at it, Kumaemon was straddling a fallen tree next to the bus path and rubbing his inner thighs against it.

Apparently it was itchy. I kept slithering for two or three minutes, trying to find a comfortable place as if to say, ``Oh, this is it, this is it.'' Perhaps feeling refreshed, he glanced back at me and thought, ``What are you looking at?'' Of course, my good friend Misumi is next to me. He sat quietly and waited until Kumaemon calmed down. I am always surprised by the unexpected behavior of bears. Kumaemon is usually arrogant, but this was a heartwarming photo. [Keeper: Ito]
