Bear Mountain was hot again today. It was a day where there were many joiners and yellowtails chasing fish and many bears coming to bathe. In the afternoon, Hirotake appeared out of nowhere at Bear Point. When I looked closely, I saw that it was walking with bamboo leaves attached to it. The principal and we staff members were all smiles when we saw him!

However, by the time I hurried to get my camera and returned, I had just gone to take a bath in the cave.

There, I was lying in the same pose as Kouji, who was with me, as if we were looking at each other in a mirror.

Hirotake and Kouji have an uncle-nephew relationship. I don't know if this has anything to do with how close they get along, but I often see them hanging out with Hirotake and playing together.

The other day, he carried a toy tree branch from the pond to Kouji's mouth and played with it, pulling it with him! (Keeper: Saito)

If you find a combination of Koji and Hirotake, please pay attention and observe them. [Keeper: Ito]
