As mentioned in the recent Bear Mountain report, brown bears are slowly starting to wake up.

From the awakened brown bear, we began to feed it in preparation for the upcoming active season. Brown bears for about 3 months

Since you have spent your time in a fasting state, it is likely that your internal organs are not working well enough immediately after waking up.

Therefore, in order not to surprise the internal organs, at first the pellets for bears are soaked in hot water.

Give a small amount. After that, while watching the brown bear, gradually increase the amount and type of food.

Food is put in using a shovel from the feeding port attached to the brown bears' private room.

Brown bears that detect the smell of food will come to the front of the feeding port to see if they want food.

Therefore, we always work in pairs of two, with a person who feeds with a shovel and a person who drives away brown bears with an iron bar.

I quickly put the food in while watching the brown bear, but even the way I move the shovel can change the angle and speed.

It's difficult because of the difference, you can put it in well or you can't. I'm clumsy,

I am struggling with the advice of a senior zookeeper.
