What do winter keepers do?

It has become the season when such a doubt arises.

At Bear Mountain, brown bears actually have their "Winter Gomori" on the theme of ecology that is closer to nature.

In fact, brown bears are mysterious animals.

Currently, we are focusing on creating a sleeping environment by identifying the metabolism of bears without feeding them at all.

Some bears appeal to themselves, saying ,"I'm hungry!" but here we make our hearts demons.

For that amount, I will do my best to make a bed.

↑A bunch of straws to use for sleeping.

When it comes to 18 heads, the amount is not odd and heavy! !

↑For light shielding, the board is installed on the door. The right is the room with straw.

↑Moko, a rookie of anticipation.

I was transferred to Sahoro in early autumn, and it was my first winter experience.

After this, I made a walla and reacted as expected (laughs)

After an hour, it became quiet, so when I looked at it, I gathered straw in one place and settled down on it.

I didn't shoot to be surprised, but it feels like we're lying on a futon.

A bear that has never seen or touched straws build a nest without anyone teaching him.

It's amazing.

Winter keepers are hard, but they monopolize the movement of bears (^ plate ^)

↑When sleeping in earnest, the respiratory rate is measured and recorded as valuable data.

On the right, the water in the beast house has frozen, so I'm carrying hot water (laughs)

Well, everyone has a good end of the year!!
