The long, long winter in Hokkaido has calmed down considerably, and there are signs of spring in Bear Mt.

The bears, which had been sleeping in the winter, began to wake up one after another and became active.

So, today I finally released the bears into the sub-paddock in front of the barn.

The bears were out in the sun for the first time in three months, and they seemed to be very comfortable playing in the snow and enjoying the sun.

Take a look at (^^)/ the bears for the first time in a very long time

This is Lion Maru who feels like a vacation ☆

Kouta rubbing his body hard against the tree?!

Everyone seemed to be having a good time in the spring sunshine!
