Santa lost his first salmon. I know I'm preparing a second salmon on the roof of the building, and I can't wait and stand upright! The hind legs of a brown man have heels, so they can stand well with humans. I tried to zoom the camera, but after all it is bad. Let's take a look at the second salmon capture.

On the last day of the three consecutive holidays, the brown bear was given autumn salmon on the last day. Santa (front) and Joiner (back) stand by in the pond today. Because the pond on the glass surface is shallower, autumn salmon is dropped in front of Santa. Can you catch the first one well?

It is a state of the first day of the autumn event "Brown bear and autumn salmon present". The usual good friend combination, Koji and Hirotake, have been on standby in the pond. Did you see today's event poster? I came to BarePoint 5 minutes before the start. The first salmon is Hirotake, which was missed. The second salmon was shot in the video, so please see.

On the afternoon of Sunday, September 11, about a 10-minute drive from the hotel, there are probably three footprints left on the driveway around Lake Sahoro. The far left hind leg seems to be quite large. Are wild brown bears also expanding their range of activities in search of rice for winter weather? Please be careful when you take a walk at dawn or dusk during the time when brown bears are active. Also, when playing outside, mushroom hunting, fishing, etc., let's inform your existence with bear bells and sounds and do not encounter bears. This weekend, we will give brown bears autumn salmon!

Do you know an animal called salamander? It is a small animal that looks like a lizard in the same amphibians as frogs. There are various types of salamanders in various parts of Japan, and here in Hokkaido, there are two types of salamanders and kita salamanders (*only in the Kushiro Marsh). In fact, many yezo salamanders live in the mountains around Bear Mountain, and every year around April to May they come to lay eggs in puddles in the park. The Ezo salamander in this photo was born from an egg collected this year and has the same shape as an adult, but it is still a child. By the way, there is a pattern like gold powder on the body (I will become an adult over many years), but the closer I get to adulthood, the less this gold powder disappears, and the color of my body becomes black. (Strange!) Currently, yezo salamanders are on display in BarePoint, so please observe them when you come (*^∀^*) I like dark places, so I think there are many things that are hidden under rocks? 【Breeding Nagata】

Obon has passed and Hokkaido has become a cool climate like autumn. I just said it was chilly for humans because of the light rain today, but even so the bears looked full of energy. When I was observing the joiner who came to Bear Point while it was raining lightly... It's rough!!! He seemed to enjoy playing in the water. Well, it looks comfortable!! The bears love bathing (*^∀^*) (Actually, they were moving like butterfles at this time!) The next article will be "How to tell a bear". 【Breeding: Nagata】

Today, the Gokase Town Mission visited Bear Mountain as an exchange project between Gokase Town and My Town Shintoku Town located in the northwestern part of Miyazaki Prefecture. The previous night, the members of the mission who had already encountered bears. It's the first thing in the morning, but I'm full of energy! I immediately got on a bare-watching bus and infiltrated the Brown Bear Forest. Find a bear and start a photo session! I'm trying hard to get the best shot at My Camera. Slipping through the side of the bus, marking, finding a figure to play in the water, the car ♪ the morning was full of light rain, but by the time I got to Bare Point, the sunlight came in and it became brighter. Because it is a great help, I return by the promenade course from Bare Point. On the way, I found a cicadas and enjoyed nature outside of bears. At the end, we took a commemorative photo in front of the bus ☆ Everyone enjoyed watching. I think there are many other exchange projects left, but don't forget about the events in Bear Mountain. And while looking at the photos I took a lot, I would be happy if the people at home could talk about brown bears♪ Shintoku town and Gokase town are far away, but I hope they will come to see me again ☆

Sahoro rain from yesterday. When it rains, Sara and Moko spend a day in the hut, and when that happens, they just sleep... Hah, I'm being photographed. Moko, how do you sleep (laughs) Proud (?) I have my paws out. Even if you get closer, you can just open your eyes, and on rainy days you will be lounging in the hut. ※The bears are doing well even when it is raining!

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】

Watermelon Oichi ♪ I wrote "cute", but this watermelon is frozen and hard to tick.

"You can't get to Bear Mountain without a car." Not really.

There is also an electronic pamphlet. (Day trip by JR)

Today it is also over 30 ° C. We will introduce the popular "Dobbon Watermelon", the 14 o'clock time. Has watermelon time been ticked into your biological clock recently? Five minutes before it starts, Hirotake comes out of nowhere. The behavior of trying to drive out the joiner who was in the pond and keep the watermelon to himself is noticeable. But Koji is a good friend, so it's okay to be with Hirotake who can't (*^^)v wait for Suika to stand up. Wearing the Tigers hat is the younger brother of a second-grader from Ebetsu and the fifth-grader brother who photographs it. Hirotake, you're taking pictures, so be a little worried about this side of the glass! !! Then, at 2 p.m., we finally dropped a lot of watermelons. A family from Yokohama. Dad compared the paws of the forelimbs in size. Which one is bigger? Children photograph hirotake mushrooms with their fathers. When I ran to get the best shot, I fell ☆ But I smiled and took two shots with Hirotake. (Thank you for <(_ _)> your cooperation) There were many customers from all over the country today to see the bears. (^o^)/ Thank you, the bears don't falter at all, whether they take a picture with a camera or flash a flash. Take a lot of two-shots with the bears on your phone, camera, and video to make them memories of your summer vacation.

It got very hot today, and Bear Mt number 1 Big Bear or Canta also seems to be no match for the heat (+. +) I was completely grumpy, but after this I was done with the watermelon gift event (laughs) In this hot season, the gift of watermelon at Bear Point three times a day seems to be the most fun of the bears (^∀^) Please come and see the bears who are exhausted! 【Breeding Shigematsu】

5月15日【見晴らし最高！】でもご紹介した遊歩道からの風景。 今はこんな感じで緑に囲まれています。 ヒグマはもちろん、鳥やセミの鳴き声、吹き抜ける風など 豊かな自然を体感できるのもベア・マウンテンならでは。 夏休みも元気に営業中です！

夏の陽射しを浴びてハァハァと息をあげているのはモコ。 黒毛は光を吸収して、暑そうです。 ベアポイント前の池から流れ出る水を飲んだり、 水の上で寝転んだりして涼をとっています。 そしてやんちゃ坊主ヒロタケとガオガオ対決。 ヒロタケは後ろ足をがっつり開いて、よだれを飛ばしながら頑張っています。 ガオガオした割にはすんなり離れていく二頭。 あの威嚇はなんだったのでしょうか。

以前よりクマたちにスイカをあげていましたが、夏バテ気味の食欲が落ちているクマを優先的に 食べさせていました。 クマたちもエサは食べなくても、スイカはペロリとたいらげるほど大好物。 スイカってアンチエイジング食材でリコピンが豊富だったり、抗酸化作用があったり、 高血圧予防、利尿作用など、人間にとってもさまざまな効果がある食材なんです。 今年は高値のスイカですが、贅沢に【どっぼーんスイカ】というイベントがはじまりました。 ヒロタケは何かを察知して 上にいる飼育スタッフを立ち上がってのぞいています。 「どっぼーん」と大きな音をたててスイカを投下。 すかさずコウジがGET！ ガラス面に抑え込んで シャリシャリ？ バクバク？ 食べています。 スイカを食べる姿より、 大きな足の裏に歓声があがる瞬間もあり。 おいしそうに食べるんです。 心なしか笑顔に見えませんか？ 皮も種も関係ありません。 まるごとごっつあんです！

ベアポイント前にいたヒロキ。 お客様が熱心にヒロキの背中に注目されていたので 「何だろう？」 と近寄ってみると アカウシアブ3匹、毛虫1匹、おやつ1粒が乗っていました。 しかもアブに刺されているヒロキでした。

7/16よりスタートした「ヒグマかるた大会」。 8/14までの土日開催ですが、本日（7/18）祝日なので開催しちゃいました。 ヒグマの生態にちなんだカードを取り揃えているので 飼育スタッフが読み上げた後、 補足を説明するのですが・・・ かるたに真剣で、話は二の次。 今日はエキサイトしたかるた大会となりました。 優勝者には、記念品をプレゼントしますので お越しの際はぜひご参加ください。 ←稚内からお越しのかわいい姉妹も大健闘！

今日もコウジとヒロタケはつるんでいます。 遊歩道の先端「エンドポイント」下にある沢に入る2頭を発見☆ 沢に入るや否や、カポッカポッとやたら威嚇音を出しています。 なんだろう？？？と視線をそらすと・・・キャンタ軍団がっ?(◎o◎)／ 相変わらずコウジは参戦せず。 キャンタとコウタ（父）から怒られるヒロタケです。

ベアポイント前のコチラの木、 奥の木のように最初は丸太でした。 しかし、昆虫がいたのか？ 鋭い爪や口を上手に使って昆虫を食べ、 こんな形になりました。 コチラも集中的に削れています。 見た目より意外と重たいこのような木を、 片手（前肢）で軽々動かしながら器用にほじったり、 噛んだりするクマたち。 そしてエサに対する執着心はものすごいですよ！ 夏休みの自由研究でヒグマをテーマにしてみませんか？ 飼育スタッフがガイドする『ウォークツアー』で、ヒグマの生態を勉強して 発表してみてはいかがでしょうか☆

久しぶりにベア・マウンテン便りに登場のサラ・モコ。 何故か2匹とも前足を揃えておすましポーズ！？ ≪皆様のお越しを、お待ちしております<(_ _)>≫ これから気温が高くなると、コテンと寝ている姿が多くなると思いますが 三つ指ならぬ、肉球揃えてお待ちしております。 12:00現在の気温：14℃　肌寒いです。 ウィンドブレーカーのような風を通さない上着をおススメします。 クマやイヌたちにとっては、過ごしやすそうですよ♪

旅の思い出に記念スタンプはいかがですか。 こちらは飼育スタッフ手作りのオリジナルスタンプ。消しゴムを彫ってスタンプにしています。 この1つのスタンプでヒグマの1年が表現されています。 制作したスタッフは、残念ながら退社してしまいましたが ヒグマへの愛情が伝わるスタンプを残してくれました。 ベア・マウンテンお越しの証に、ぜひこちらの記念スタンプを押してくださいね。 チケット売場に設置しております。 また、ホテル内リゾートセンターでは消しゴムはんこ教室も営業中！ 夏休みの自由研究にもおすすめのプログラムなので、チャレンジしてみてはいかがでしょうか。
