Winter is in full swing! Both the bear and the breeding staff are in their 7th year!
The seventh winter retreat of the season has begun. Bears, which have experienced it many times, will go into hibernation mode relatively quickly if you set a fasting period and throw in straw. An individual named "Mitt", who newly joined the group around last summer, is a cause for concern for the breeding staff. It is a curious bear that is only 4 years old, shows interest in various things, and has not yet become an adult, so if it senses the presence of a person, it will wake up in a small way, so when observing, I am careful not to make noise as much as possible and talk in a quiet voice. The photo on the left is Shingo, a veteran of winter. He is the oldest of Bear Mountain and has a hateful facial expression (laughs). Breeding Staff
