The typhoon that had been feared had little effect, and although it was an hour late, we were able to open safely!

However, the bears may have gotten into a bad mood due to the one-hour shift in release, and although they usually all leave the animal enclosures and enter the zoo, they didn't come out at all today (T△T)

In particular, Shingo and Makoto probably misunderstood that they were being contained (they could return to their rooms and eat food), but even if they went out once, they would return to the gate before we knew it.

Bears have their own rhythms of life...I'm sorry.

(But it's a typhoon, so this can't be helped!!)

In the afternoon, the sun shines behind the thin clouds. We hope the weather improves for the three-day weekend.

Well, did the typhoon bring cold air as well?

I could see a light layer of snow near the top of the mountain visible from Sahoro.

↑The triangular peak in the foreground is Mt. Shimohorokametok. The mountain in the back is also covered in snow...

Winter may come early this year.
