Canter

A cool bear in the pond. "Huh? Who is it?" I didn't know, so I asked the breeding staff.

"It's Canta."

The answer is. Eh, canta(ノ゜?゜)ノ

The reason why I didn't know was because when I found a ``bald spot'' on the forehead or back of the neck where the hair had fallen out due to excessive back rubbing, I would identify it as ``canter!'' As a result, I had no idea that the owner of such a well-furred face was Canta. Has your hair loss been cured? He was always hairless and looked like a lump, so if that's fixed, then all is well!

Even so, Canta is more handsome than Bear Mountain 1's handsome guy, Kumaemon. Am I the only one who wonders if it's really the same bear? Even when I compare it with the photo from May (right), it looks like the bear's features have become cleaner.
