Finally, the bears are starting to see signs of spring!

For the past month, the bears have been in a stable winter state, and the keepers have been busy removing snow every day, but the bear's movement has gradually become more active, and I wonder if it will continue forever. I feel that the winter that I thought was finally coming to an end.

Strangely enough, bears start to wake up every year after the enlightenment in March, but this year I thought that the cold days would continue, but it seems that they are starting to wake up without exception, and it seems that the first one this year is probably "Moko".

Today, when I was clearing snow from the roof of the animal barn, I was vigorously opening the lid of the ventilation opening.

Until now, there have been bears who have opened the lid, but it has been a long time since they have opened it so vigorously, and I feel that they are awakening.

The sub-paddock in the animal barn is also clearing snow along the electric fence so that the awakened bears can be released.

This is quite hard work.

By the way, the snow will be removed all around the park!

By the way, Sarah Moko is mattari in the animal barn.
