The long, long winter in Hokkaido has calmed down considerably, and there are signs of spring in Bear Mt. The bears, which had been sleeping in the winter, began to wake up one after another and became active. So, today I finally released the bears into the sub-paddock in front of the barn. The bears were out in the sun for the first time in three months, and they seemed to be very comfortable playing in the snow and enjoying the sun. Take a look at (^^)/ the bears for the first time in a very long time This is a lion maru who is completely in the mood for vacation ☆ Kouta who is rubbing his body hard against the tree?! Everyone seemed to be having a good time in the spring sunshine!
Today is the end of March at the earliest. There are too many things, what to do and how to do it? While I continued to worry, four male customers made a snowman near the first lift station. The snowman has the words "Fight Japan"! Of course! It's a strong message for reconstruction, but I'm a pitiful person who was encouraged by customers... I feel that this message reminded me of my original work (what is the tourism industry and service industry?) from the customer. The ski resort will be open until 4/3 (Sunday)! It has become a crunchy spring-like snow, but it is in good condition in the morning. And Bear Mountain, Sahoro Resort Hotel will start the green season from 4/29 ☆ Preparations for the opening have begun steadily. Even a little! We hope that your stay in Sahoro will be a pleasant and memorable one. Photo: From the 1st Lift Staff (taken on 3/29)
The brown bears of Bear Mountain have begun to wake up from their winter slumber one after another. Spring is just around the corner. This year's business will start on April 29. I'll be in good shape to welcome you all! I don't have a picture of a waking bear, so I took a picture of a squirrel. It suddenly appeared on the roof of the parking lot this morning. I hurriedly took out my digital camera and took a picture, so it's blurry. It has nothing to do with Bear Mountain, but it is connected to animals that live in Hokkaido. * Squirrels do not stay in winter.
At the Sahoro Resort Hotel, which is about 2 minutes by car from Bear Mountain, an accommodation plan with a Bear Mountain admission ticket has appeared. Brown bears behave in a variety of ways depending on the time of day as well as the season. Why don't you ♪ stay at the Sahoro Resort Hotel and watch the brown bears to your heart's content from opening to closing? There is also great deals, so be sure to check it out ☆ ◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆ ◆◆◆ Click here for the accommodation plan for 2011 ◆◆◆ ◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆
Hello. How do you measure your respiratory rate? I uploaded it to my blog before, but it looks like this. However, there are different types of measurement postures. 1 Normal posture Basic posture, less burden on the body, emphasis on balance 2 Concentrated posture ・Compared to normal posture, there are fewer gaps and it is often taken in strong winds. The disadvantage is that the body temperature drops significantly, and the sensation at the ends such as the toes is lost. 3 Special posture ・ Take when the snow is melting and the ground ground is flooded, such as in early spring. The muscles of the whole body are required to support the body with only one arm against the toes and ventilation openings. Because it is very painful, it is a short-term intensive type. During wintering, we measure in these three positions. Someday, you want to be a keeper at Bear Mountain! Let's train our concentration and physical strength, and measure together! The basic thing is to fight the cold (^ dish ^) [Breeding: Kurokawa]
The temperature continues to be uncharacteristic of winter. The thing that interferes with the bears' sleep is the temperature (temperature). I introduced "Moko" before, and I started feeding because I felt uneasy about my physique. At the beginning, a very small amount of food is given to the food. As with hospital food, if you immediately give the same amount as during the normal period, the body will be surprised and it is dangerous. ↑ Food for bears (400g) A small amount of food is repeatedly fed, and the amount of food is returned to normal while observing the condition of the stool. You may think that this small amount of food will stick, but in fact, it will be eaten very slowly. Maybe you know your physical condition. By spring, I will be able to regain my physique and gain weight so that I can meet everyone, so please look forward to it. ↑ Moko's nest. Compared to other individuals, it is a little dirty. ↑ A rather thin but beautiful nest. [Breeding: Kurokawa]
Today, I was relieved that the weather was not rough. The Bear Mountain Forest Nature Tour was attended by a couple from Kobe. Unfortunately, you can't see the brown bears, but you can take a snowshoe stroll on the pure white snow surface. It's a simple program, but walking on puff-puff powder snow with no footprints is something that you don't usually experience. That alone sounds like fun. With just a little snow yesterday, the best powder snow was waiting. And take a commemorative photo in front of a large birch that can be seen from the cutting edge of the promenade course! Compared to the summer photo, the brown bear has plenty of time to put his hand on the tree on the slope between the branches, but even if there is snow and the ground is high, it is not possible to reach it even if you reach out. This kind of fun is unique to Bear Mountain! Whether you're interested in brown bears or not, why not try it out? On a different note, the melon bear in Yubari was also wintering. As for the bear connection, I digress.
This winter seems to be stormy all over the country, but the weather in the Tokachi region has been good so far, and Bear Mountain is blessed with blue skies, which is very pleasant (^. ^) Today, we went into the park and did snow removal work. When it is open, it is crowded with many people, and the slope path to go up to the promenade will be buried in the snow as you can see if no one is walking (><) Even the bear that stood up is like this. It is difficult to remove snow from the fall prevention nets on the promenade, and the snow is tight and very heavy due to the recent cold weather, so this is quite hard work>. <) Preparations are now underway for Bear Mountain, which is buried in snow, to open in the spring! 【Breeding, Shigematsu】
Today, the local newspaper Tokachi Mainichi Shimbun came to cover the ski resort. The content is "an ice aquarium at the highest altitude in Japan". At the summit station building of the Sahoro Gondola, an ice aquarium has appeared. It is an article called. He also filmed the winter sleeps of brown bears on Bear Mountain. I also took on the challenge of shooting! Hmmm... I'm sleeping on a rice straw, but is it my head? Is it an ass? I don't know... In the meantime, reacting to sunlight and cold? He opened his eyes and glared at me, saying, "What are you doing?" I immediately darkened the room and was quiet, when I heard the breathing of sleep. The eyes that glow from the dark are powerful! Even during the winter, I didn't feel any decline at all.
As we entered the end of January and the cold was getting more severe day by day, I thought that all the bears in Bear Mountain were sleeping quietly, but there was one bear that was still restless (>). <) This is "Moko", which joined the ranks of Bear Mountain last fall. Moko is a bear that has never experienced winter sleeping, and she has not eaten anything for a month due to fasting for winter, so she needs to be very careful about managing her physical condition. This morning, he opened the lid of the ventilation vent on the roof with his forelimbs and appealed to us. This is something that bears often do when they have begun to wake up from winter slumber in early spring to appeal to them, but it is troublesome and very worrying to make this appeal at this time of year in the height of winter. As an aside, bears that are sleeping in winter store a lot of nutrients in their bodies in the fall, so if they are quiet, they can live without eating anything until spring, but they do not need water to sustain their lives. At Bear Mountain, we secure moisture by giving ice to bears that are sleeping in the winter, but it is also important to make ice to secure that moisture. Thanks to the recent cold weather, ice is forming more and more, and while I am grateful for the winter nature of Hokkaido, I continue to fight the cold every day. 【Breeding, Shigematsu】
About two weeks have passed since the start of 2011, and most of the brown bears in the animal barn are sleeping. I can't show you the situation because I refrained from taking pictures of the bears at the moment so as not to stimulate the brown bears who have started to sleep too much, but today the brown bears seemed to be sleeping calmly and preparing their beds by fiddling with straw a little. Today, we are very busy removing the snow that has fallen since last night, and we are clearing the roof of the animal barn, but if we do not do this properly, the melted snow will flow into the animal house and wet the precious bedding of the brown bears. Also, you can see what looks like a silver T-shaped tube at the foot of the photo, which is a ventilation opening, and it plays an important role such as listening to the breathing of sleeping brown bears and adding straw, so it is difficult to get buried in the snow, so I remove snow frequently. When the snow removal was over and the bears were sleeping, the warm sunlight came in in the extreme cold, and when it was a little softer, the goats Yuki (photo, left) and Atsuko (photo, right) came to check on the situation. Spring is still a long way off, but the bears at Bear Mountain are steadily building up strength for < (^^) 2011 season>
