Yuru Chara Shintoku Ranger's Red & Mountain Green who promotes sightseeing in Shintoku Town came to play ☆ (Hot spring pink is closed) Get on the bear-watching bus and appeal to customers. It's exciting to see a smiling soba red bear. Soba Red waves from inside the car, but the bears are unresponsive ... I don't even notice how flashy it is. And Green tries to put his face in as if to say, "Take a picture!" on the face signboard, but it's a pity (>_<) that he didn't enter the signboard Bear VS Soba Red Which is stronger? Soba Red exposes its fighting spirit! Bears are crazy about treats. The bear won't take care of me, so I said goodbye and when I tried to go home while taking a walk on the promenade... I have a premonition of love for mountain green!!? Mossgreen-chan discovery ☆ (customer of the first issue) There was such a good thing on the first day of GW It is Mountain Green. You may have some wonderful encounters at Bear Mountain! From May 3 to 5, brown bears try to catch rainbow trout! There are also events, so please ♪ come and visit us.

In the refreshing weather, we opened safely. And the first customer in 2012 took a commemorative photo with a group of five good friends from Tomakomai ☆ Bear Cookie. Everyone takes pictures of bears with digital cameras and mobile phone cameras. But the weather is so good that the light is reflected on the glass surface, and it seems that it is difficult to take it well. Here's one point. If you stick the camera lens to the glass, you can shoot with less light reflection or reflection. However, the disadvantage (^_^;) is that if you stick it tightly, you can't take a picture unless the bear comes to the front. If you wait patiently for a photo opportunity, you may be able to get the best shot, so please try it. By the way, after this, we will upload the special guest "Tourism Mission Shintoku Ranger has come", so please ♪ look forward to it.

National highway signboard at the entrance of Sahoro Resort near the 3rd station of Karikatsu Pass (Obihiro side) of National Route 38. This year, the Bear Mountain signboard was renewed, and the installation was completed earlier. If you are coming from the Sapporo area (Tomamu IC), you will see a signboard on your left, so don't miss it.

With a pleasant blue sky, we invited new first-year students attending an elementary school in Shintoku Town. Shintoku Town, which is rich in nature, is home to wild brown bears, so we wanted to create time to prevent encounters and accidents, and to create time for people to think about nature conservation and coexistence with wild animals, with the cooperation of the Board of Education and each school. First, board the bear-watching bus and head to the brown bear forest. On the bus, we talk about the ecology of brown bears, but everyone is knowledgeable. They also teach us what they learn at home and at school. Still, when I saw a brown bear in front of me, I thought, "It's huge!!" "Big hands!!" There are voices such as. The bus rocks you to Bear Point. Get off the bus and meet the brown bears through the glass. Teachers are also desperate to take commemorative photos with digital cameras. Study quizzes in the brown bear exhibition room in Bear Point. Now, is this foot type the right foot? Is it the left foot? A replica of the collar worn by brown bears. Compared to children, it's the size of a hula hoop. "Brown bears' necks are thick, aren't they?" took a commemorative photo in front of the signboard. It has only been a short time since I entered the school, but everyone listened to what the teacher said and studied hard. I hope you can talk about what you learned today when you go home. Well, Bear Mountain will open tomorrow. The first 77 people will have bear cookies, so we look forward to seeing you there.

This is the news that has just jumped in. From the Shintoku Town Hall, "On the day of opening, Shintoku Ranger will visit." Gacha . (The sound of hanging up) And that. Shintoku Ranger is a squadron Yuru-chara that promotes tourism in Shintoku Town. Among them, Beside Red and Mountain Green are expected to come to Bear Mountain. According to speculation, they are aiming for bear cookies? Isn't it? Everyone, why don't you take a commemorative photo when you meet ☆ * The photo is the opening day of the ski resort.

There are four days left until the opening on April 28. As announced in the latest news, the first 77 people who visit on April 28th will receive a bear cookie! Today, the prototype is ready, so I uploaded a photo. It is a cocoa-flavored cookie with a hint of almond paste. The pastry chef said with a smile, "It's a brown bear, so I chose cocoa flavor." Although the number is limited, we hope you can enjoy cookies with brown bears.

Bears who have woken up from the winter and want to go out soon. However, there is a lot of snow this year, and the snow removal work is not progressing, so I can not go outside yet. It's nearly 2 meters long, so it's hard if you climb over the fence and escape. Sunbathing is a treat. If things continue like this, we plan to get them out on April 1. Shhh! The weather is forecast to be rough again over the weekend. If there is a lot of snow, the day when you can go out again may be extended. I hope it doesn't become April Fool's Day. Do you want to go outside? Do you want a snack? Santa is fine even after the winter holidays!

In one month, Bear Mountain will start operations for fiscal 2012. This year, which marks the 7th year, as an opening project, the first 77 people will receive "bear cookies" ☆ Although it is just a feeling, we are waiting for the pastry chef special cookie of Sahoro Resort Hotel. Thank you for your continued support of Sahoro Resort Bear Mountain this season. April 28 (Sat) 9:00 Open!

Today, on the 82nd day of fasting, the feeding began. The bears in question are Moko, Hinata, Santa and Canta. I had been awake for a few days now, so I had to start feeding from these four animals first. Most of the other bears are starting to wake up, but some of them are still sleeping soundly. Initially, the bears start with a small amount of the sweet bait they love, and gradually increase the amount and get used to it. It is a really small amount for hungry bears, but since there was no object in the stomach for 81 days, I will give it little by little without hurrying. Santa jumps on the bait as soon as he enters the room! For the first time in a long time, he seemed to be in good spirits. Canter looked unsatisfied. I was defiantly wearing straw on my face (laughs) [Breeding: Shigematsu]

GW limited plan from April 28th to May 5th has appeared. On May 3rd and 5th, brown bears will try to catch rainbow trout, and at the hotel, there will be many ♪ events such as "Children's Fair" and "Children's Bingo Tournament" Let's enjoy GW with a great plan that includes 1 night 2 meals and admission ticket with Bear Mountain Bus!

At last, the bears can see the movement toward spring! The past month has been in a stable winter state, and the keepers have been chased by snow removal every day, but the movement of the bear gradually becomes active, and it may continue forever? I feel that the end is finally approaching even in the winter that seemed to be. After the March keijo, the bear begins to happen strangely every year, but I thought whether it would continue on cold days this year, but it seems that it is starting to happen without exception, and it seems that the first ride of this year is probably "Moko". When I was removing snow on the roof of the beast house today, I was vigorously opening the lid of the ventilation opening. Until now, there were bears that opened the lid, but it's been a long time since I opened it so vigorously, and I realize that I'm awake. The sub paddock in the beast house also removes snow along the electric fence so that the awakened bears can be free-ranged. This is quite hard work. By the way, the park also removes snow all around! Sara Moko mats by the beast house. [Breeding: Shigematsu]

The brown bears usually start to wake up from the winter's bath from around the "Day of The Day of Enlightenment", when the earth warms up and the insect (蟄) which shrinks in the soil opens a hole and begins to move. Hinata and Santa are moving differently than they are in winter. We are doing winter with a large number of people, but the time to enter and the time to wake up vary depending on the individual. Who's up next?

2012年度のリーフレットが出来上がり、納品されました！ 今回はコウジが表紙を飾っています。 中身も一新しましたので、どこかで見かけたら ぜひお手に取ってご覧ください♪ そしてヒグマたちに会いにいらしてください<(_ _)>

Ice is piled up and looks like an object, but this ice is a very important ice. The reason why it is important is that it is ice given by brown bears in winter so as not to cause dehydration. In the first year of winter, I was making a lot of big ice anyway. However, when I tried to give it to the bears, I did not enter from the shelter of the cage, and I was repeatedly doing the harsh work of dividing one by one and giving it. Scold! Winter is also in its sixth year, and it is calculated as the last minute to enter the serving place? It has evolved into ice. It was back information from the breeding staff who worked quietly during the winter.

At the time of the other day's sleep recording, Koji had arranged the bed, so I took it with a video. Even during the winter, you can get up by eating ice or fixing your bed. If you find a brown bear in the mountains in winter... It's scary just to think about it.

Today I recorded the sleep of the brown bear. Brown bears in the winter spend about 100 days without drinking or eating. In order to reduce metabolism, the respiratory rate also decreases the number of times than usual. I wanted you to hear such a brown bear's sleep (breathing), and I recorded it with the cooperation of DJ JURI. The recording time was 1 hour, and it was away from the beast house during that time, so I'm looking forward to what kind of sound is ♪ recorded By the way, what do you think a brown bear sleeps like? I think that I can send it at a later date, so please wait for a while. A lot of ice was in front of the beast house. Well, suddenly here is a quiz. What is this ice used for?

Bear Mt's eye of the typhoon "Moko" is firmly in winter this year, and it seems to be a lie that I did not sleep at all last year. Today, I had you go out of the room for the first time in a long time by replacing all the straws in moko's room, but the movement was slow and seemed to be completely in winter mode like other individuals. Straw is finely chewed and shredded, and it is completely pettanco by weight. The room is 1000000 and the room is 1000000000.>. <) Moko's nails create an atmosphere. After all I wonder if it is young ... If it is a bear in normal winter warmth mode, I do not stand up too much and appeal, but that area is really moko! As long as I entered the room, I began to process the sesse and the new straw to make it easier to sleep. The sound of biting the straw and cutting it echoes in the beast house. It makes you feel the strength of the bear's ang again. The temperature in the beast house is minus 9 degrees Celsius! The temperature outside has also dropped to around minus 20°C, and it is a situation where the natural environment of Hokkaido can be created. However, I feel the vitality of the brown bear sleeping in this situation and a tremendous thing. And it is also a hat off the strength of Sarah Moko's dog who is doing well in front of the ski resort ticket! If humans could not lose, it was a keeper who went to the beast house in super thick clothes today (laughs) [Breeding: Shigematsu]

The animal house, which has cooled down very much due to the cold wave of the past few days, has finally dropped its room temperature to minus 9 degrees Celsius. Of course, the outside temperature is much colder, but the heat emitted by the bears that are crowded in winter is somewhat warmer indoors, but even if it gets cold up to now, it was about minus 6 ° C, but it may be due to the cold of this year that has fallen so far this time. The cold is very severe in the Tokachi region, but it is not such a heavy snowfall area, so snow does not accumulate as much as it does, but Sahoro piles up as it is, so the snow shoveling of the beast house is like a daily routine, but finally the snow that has been piled up on the roof of the beast house and scratched has covered the beast house! From the point of looking at areas with a lot of snow, it may not be a big deal, but a sense of accomplishment that can not be said indescribably? I took a picture involuntarily. I think that you can see a concrete building, but it is covered with a wall of snow that leaves only that. It is a thing that chile piles up, too. By the way, it is a snowy mountain of fluffy with amazing powder snow because the cold is (^^) severe recently [breeding: Shigematsu]

Bear Mountain bears, who have entered winter mode with the start of 2012, are still sleeping quietly today. Hirotake, who has shown resistance such as opening the lid of the ventilation mouth until the end, has grown up completely for the past week and has a (^^) good night's sleep Well, I have talked about the winter weight of the brown bear before, but it is not a state of temporary death or continuing to sleep without getting up until spring, depending on the time of day, I lick the ice, rumbling and messing with the straw. Therefore, the keeper checks every day, and the straw that gets dirty or moist takes the bear out of the acupuncture house and performs the replacement work. Today, we did a straw replacement work for Kota's room. I saw Kota that came to light for the first time in a long time, but I could see that there was no particular serious thinness and that I was having a smooth winter. Kota's bed. It's a bit messy and it's completely pettanco (laughs) This is a lump of ice left for hydration. There are about 50 cm × 30 cm, and what is missing is the mark that kota licked. Some bears have Garigari-kun. Welcome Kota with a beautiful straw. I was a little wary, but after this I entered easily and fiddling with straw so that I could sleep easily.

Happy New Year. It is Moko. We celebrated 2012 with a lot of light from the first sunrise. And today, I went out into the unknown. It is Sahorodake Shrine. It is a guardian dog, koma moko. I was told what, and I was shaken by the gondola. Mt. Sahoro Shrine built next to the gondola summit station building. Why don't you come and visit ☆ It was a surprise moko on the gondola for the first time.

いよいよ2011年も終わろうとしています。 ベアＭｔのクマたちは着々と冬ごもりに入り始めています！ なかなか寝る気配を見せなかったヒロタケもここ数日はだいぶ落ち着いてきており、換気口の蓋も開けなくなってきました。 そのほかのクマたちは、ほぼ冬ごもりに入っているといっていい状況かと思います。 今日アップする写真は、朝一で寝息を聞いたあと獣舎内に入り、格子扉に張った板の小窓からクマの様子を観ているところです。 クマたちの眠りを邪魔しないように、獣舎内には極力入らないようにします。 しかし、呼吸確認だけではワラの状態や、水分確保のために置いている氷などの有無が確認できないので、懐中電灯の灯りのみでヒソヒソ声で状態を確認しています。 まずは前室の様子。 ここで身支度を整え暗闇の獣舎に入っていきます。 どこか探検に行くような格好です・・・ 小窓からクマの様子をうかがいます。 だいたい今で獣舎内はマイナス５℃くらいです。 特別にフラッシュを焚いて撮っていますが、実際真っ暗で感でシャッターをおしました(。。) とにかく皆さん!寒さに負けず、また来年お会いしましょう!！ 【飼育：重松】

今日で完全絶食から7日経ちました。 22日に各部屋を冬ごもりバージョンにリニューアル（格子扉に板を張って暗くし、寝るためのワラを入れました）してから3日経ったのですが、早くもベアＭｔのクマたちは冬ごもりに入ろうとしてきています。 そんな中、なかなか寝る気配のないクマが・・・ なにかと問題児のヒロタケです。 夏場などは通気をよくするために、屋上にある換気口の蓋を開けておいたりするのですが、冬ごもりの際は部屋を暗くする目的と、雪が入り込まないようにするためにもその換気口の蓋は閉めるのですが、今現在で唯一ヒロタケだけがその蓋を自分で開けてしまいます（＞＜） 分かり易く図にしてみました！！ 絵心が無いのに無謀な挑戦をしてしまいました（。＿。） でも本当にこんな感じです！たぶん・・・ 地獄突きのような感じで開けるのですが、蓋に人が乗っかってても開けちゃいます。 さすがヒグマ！！人間なら一発で突き指ですね。 わりと衝撃写真です！よく見るとヒロタケの前肢が見えます。 【飼育：重松】

18日に最終給餌があり19日から完全絶食に入り、今日で4日目になりました。 今日は各部屋の格子扉に板を張り、より寝やすい環境を作る作業を行いました。 今年冬ごもり一番乗りしそうなのが、クリントン!！部屋から出る時もなかなか出てこようとせず、動きも緩慢。 ここ数日はいつも部屋の隅で寝ていて、あまり周囲の事を気にしない様子は確認していたのですが、今日も部屋に入るなり用意していたワラを適当にシャカシャカ整えて、早々と伏臥になり寝てしまいました。 少し分かりにくいですが、ワラの用意された部屋に入ってくるコウジです。 今日はワラがあるからか、みんな素直に入ってきました。 ワラを置いておくと、勝手に自分達の好きなように寝床を作り始めます。 こういった行動は誰に教えられたわけでもなく、みんな本能的に行います!！ 結構個性もあって面白いので、今後いろいろ紹介していきます(＾＾) 【飼育：重松】

12月23日より、園内をスノーシューで散策するネイチャーツアーがはじまります。 まずはベアウォッチングバスコースを進みます。 上に見えるは遊歩道コース。 クマたちはどんなふうに見上げているんだろ？ なんて思いながらスタート。 マーキング（背こすり）のし過ぎで、 木肌が剥がれている木を発見☆ 雪が50cmは積もっているのに、 男性スタッフの頭上にある爪痕。 こんなに間近で見られるのが ネイチャーツアーの醍醐味。 そして、マーキング（背こすり）の時に抜けた毛が 今も残っています。 ヒグマの毛はどんな感触なんだろう。 というツアー内容となっております。 冬ごもり中のヒグマたちはご覧いただけませんが、 ヒグマを感じ、フカフカの雪の上を歩く、 スキー・スノーボードができなくても、元気に歩ける方でしたらご参加いただけます。 スノーシューレンタル込なので、皆様のご参加をお待ちしております！ ベア・マウンテンの森ネイチャーツアー　詳細 昨年の様子はコチラ
