Bear Mountain is blessed with crisp, sunny skies typical of Hokkaido. To cool off, the brown bears take turns coming to bathe in the pond in front of Bear Point.

As the timing was good, Hirotake, a master fish catcher (?), appeared in the pond! As soon as I got in, I put my face in the water and started chasing rainbow trout. First, set your aim

After repeatedly letting it sink for a while, floating it up, and then taking it into your mouth, it became the center of attention as visitors asked, "Are you still eating it?"

I watched it carefully, but in the end I turned around and ate it.

I couldn't see him eating with his big back, but I was able to take a video of him playing with it, so I'll upload it.

Although you can see them chasing rainbow trout, it is difficult to catch them.
