Shintoku Town, where Bear Mountain is located, often exceeds 30°C in summer, even in Hokkaido. (The Tokachi region is a hot region!) How do our Ezo brown bears spend their time on such a midsummer day? So today I tried to sneak into the cave at Bear Point! !! The three of them were taking a nap together! It looks easy and comfortable (* '∀'*) (Left: Hirotake, Upper right: Koji, Lower right: Joiner) In fact, the optimum temperature for Ezo brown bears is said to be 4°C to 7°C. It's much easier for bears to spend time in the cold than in the cool. For such hot bears, the cave is a favorite spot because it is cool even in midsummer. But when three of them enter, they are crammed and look a little hot (laughs) This time, these three were included, but the joiner is a bear that is often in the cave. Whether it's very hot, dark places, or just your favorite place... Only Joiner knows the answer! (・∀・) When you come to Bear Mountain, be sure to observe the bears in the caves! 【Breeding: Nagata】
