I've been working at the ski resort for about a week now.

Today I went to the animal shelter for the first time in a while to see how the bears were doing.

When I went there, the bears were in the sub-paddock during the period when they were being housed, and the bears were waiting for the preparations to be made, shouting, "Hurry up! Dinner!"

Inuo! long time no see!

I messed with the joiner who was first in line, and he got mad at me, so I rubbed his back as if I wasn't going to lose.

Lionmaru! You are peaceful.

The bears' bodies are dirty because they were lying in the mud before the snow fell.

I want to wash it, but at this temperature the fur will freeze (^^;)

However, for some reason, there are some individuals whose fur becomes shiny in the spring, even if they stay in the winter.

I wonder if the dirt can be removed by rubbing it against the bedding?

Or do we experience physiological changes when we stay in the winter?

It's difficult for humans, who don't have the ability to stay in the winter, to figure out what's going on.

The bears have now passed their feeding period and are gradually reducing their food intake.

Beet mixed with feed (used as a raw material for sugar. Cultivation is popular in the Tokachi region)

As soon as I reduced the amount, his stool became loose, so I reviewed the food and adjusted the amount of beets.

Then, it turned out to be a good flight. Changing just one type of food can make such a big difference. Despite their large bodies, they are actually very delicate creatures.

While I went to see the bears, Sara and Moko were waiting for me.
