Daily life of bears

It's been a long time since I last updated. The Golden Week has passed in a hurry, and the bears are spending their time relaxing. Clinton taking a nap on the snow. (Does it feel good?) What do you think of that cool look? Mr. Joyner. Sleeping...? (Snaken after being hit by Hirotake? Kumaemon) Kouji bravely climbs the rocky area. Cool! Shingo is a mischievous old man who drips water. This time of year, before the leaves grow thick, is perfect for observing as you can see far into the distance. The brown bears will soon reach their mating season. Please take a look at the differences in the behavior of brown bears and the changing nature of the park depending on the season! It seems that the cherry blossoms are blooming in some places, but I wonder when the cherry blossoms in Sahoro will bloom (・△・) [Breeding: Ito]

Name decision of kogma!

Although it was a short period from April 29th to May 5th, we would like to thank you for giving us so many names in the little bear's ``My Name Chute''. As a result of careful selection, the name of the little bear was decided to be ``Rocky''. The origin of the name is that ・I want it to grow as majestic as the Rocky Mountains. ・I want it to grow strong like the main character in the movie ``Rocky.'' The godparents were: Nakashibetsu Town, Hasegawa Hisashi, Asahikawa City, Hiroko Tsuji, Engaru Town, Iwaki Yoshiko, Asahikawa City, Sasahara Rino, Asahikawa City, Masato Sekiya There are 5 people above. The 5 people who name their names will receive original Bear Mountain merchandise, so please look forward to it.

Whose butt is it?

Today I took a ride on the bear watching bus. Two butts visible at the end of the bus. I'm walking while making my body tremble. The leading bear on the right has a rounded tail, and the tail of the chasing bear on the left is ▽. Here's a maniac problem! Can you tell which bear it is just by looking at its butt (back view)? ? If you understand this, you are quite a Bear Mountain enthusiast☆

Slipping, scrubbing, muscular

Golden Week was blessed with good weather, and every day was a good day to observe brown bears. Try catching rainbow trout! Hirotake finished. Did you get satisfied by scrubbing and scrubbing at the standing tree behind the Bear Point pond, peeling the bark off the tree, and rubbing your back? I went to the back.

Invitation at pre-opening☆

Bear Mountain is finally opening tomorrow. Today, we invited new first graders from elementary schools in Shintoku Town (Shintoku Elementary School, Kusaku Minami Elementary School, and Tomimura Ushi Elementary School) as part of their school class. Our breeding staff will guide you so that you can learn as much as possible about the habits and ecology of brown bears, prevent encounters, and aim for coexistence with nature. From the bear watching bus, we experienced brown bears through the glass from Bear Point. The girls who at first said it was scary to see the power behind the glass have now gotten used to it. Now you can observe it without running away even if it approaches you. There's a lot of snow left this year, so it's easy to spot brown bears during Golden Week! (The black moving bodies are very noticeable against the white earth.) The closing time will be extended by 1 hour from May 1st to May 5th, so if you are in the area, please come and see the brown bears!

First outside! 2

The four bears that appeared in the subpaddock today were the group Shingo, Hirotake, Koji and Kouta, who woke up early. In Shingo, the 19th day after feeding was over, and their physiques are gradually returning...or rather, all four of them were well-established and hard to believe they were overwhelmed by winter. ↑, I hydrate my throat by eating the snow. I was happy to see that every bear was enjoying it and enjoying it. ↑ Koji scratching the bark of the wood and Hirotake smelling the ground beside it ↑ Each person enjoys the sunbathing! I was hoping to have Santa on my own in the afternoon and have a "pork gaeshi" like last year, but perhaps I was bothered by the smell of the bear that was appearing in the morning, so I was so obsessed with the back rubbing and exploration behavior that I couldn't see. (Instead, he broke a large dead branch, making him look quite satisfied.) "Does it fit?" During my walk today, I spotted a budding budding on the side of the road! When the green color comes out, you'll suddenly feel like spring. [Breeding: Ito]

The first outside this year!

It's been about two weeks since I woke up after winter hanging out, and today I'm taking my first free time for the sub paddock this year. For about three months, brown bears lying down without eating anything, are exposed to the sun for the first time in a while. The snow is cleared by hand on the fence, but this year, taking into account the usual reflections, we divided it into three separate sessions, and we removed snow frequently. Even so, they struggled to clear the snow and finally managed to clear the snow, but the brown bears play with one hand, easily digging into the snow, like "soft tofu." It's incredible power (ノ゜?゜)ノ!! Playing in the sub paddock, he walks and runs on the snow with his solid steps. His body doesn't seem to have lost much weight, and his muscles don't seem to have weakened, so he's energetic and relieved. He rumbled over the snow, digging holes, rubbing his back, and looking pleasant.

It's starting to wake up one after another

It seemed that the weather was rough all over the country today, and there was a wind blowing in Saholo that made me stagger. Since we first started feeding the bears that started to wake up, the other bears have also become more active and more reactive. Of course, you can tell from the sound of feeding it, but the food that is soaked with hot water has a really nice scent! It's fragrant and sweet... (´u`) Even humans can't help but think "it looks delicious," so it's definitely appealing to bears with excellent sense of smell. As they fed each one, it seemed like the bears in the back and next to them were scratching the floor, urging them to "quickly." The frost on the ceiling of the room is almost melting and the straw is moist. I've removed the blinds from the bear's room, and the straw has also been removed, so I'm gradually beginning to return to normal views. On the other hand, are you hearing or not hearing the noise of work? There are also bears who sleep at their own pace, sleeping smoothly. It seems that each person has their own personality even when they wake up in winter. [Breeding: Ito]

Spring Awakening!

With the enlightenment, I am now able to clearly see the signs of the bears' awakening. However, the sleep is clearly different from the "deep" sleep in January and February, and more bears are now observed to wake up and play with straw and lick ice. ←Makoto licks the ice by the time it reaches mid-March, the straw in his bed had lost its shape or had collapsed thinly. ←Living insufficient volume Also, there are individuals that urinate and fart, so it may be that the internal organs are becoming more active. Some bears come in front of the door and smell the smell of them, perhaps waiting for food. (During January and February, I slept without worrying about making some noise to add ice! The reaction to humans is also clearly visible.) It seems that younger bears in particular tend to wake up faster than other individuals. Santa and Canta have already messed up the straw in their beds and seem to feel like they're going to sleep. On March 14th, 2010, the 84th day after the fasting day on December 21st, 2009 (the day we stopped feeding completely), we fed Shingo for the first time. The next day, we also fed Santa and Canta. The first small amount of food is given to you so that you don't put any strain on the bears who have eaten during the winter stabbing. Give 400g of bear pellets softly with hot water. Every bear ate in a flash, but strangely, he doesn't make any noise in search of any more. When the wild bears end up in winter, they first eat snow to get used to it, then move to a place where the snow melts quickly and eat little by little wild plants, so the bears on Bear Mountain may also be able to start with a small amount. The other bears will gradually awaken. I will do my best to share information, so please take a look at the bears who have finally begun to move as spring approaches! [Breeding: Ito]

Looking for Spring

I thought so, but it seems I was still too early. But the temperature has gotten so high. The snow has also been reduced considerably, and Bear Mountain is also being cleared for its opening. Well, today is the 24th season of the ``Keiji''. "Kei-san"... Simply put, the day spring approaches and insects begin to move (if you hate insects, you're prepared). In fact, Santa has awakened from a winter stifling state last year! It was the day I felt that way. Last year, Santa began to move on to this keen skull. We were jokingly saying, "Santa might be moving because it's a keen sinner," and what a surprise! We were playing with ice to supply water! ! I was relieved to see her well, but what's so noisy? I don't know about bears in the wild, but the bears in Bear Mountain are gradually becoming lighter. I want to see a brown bear walking on the snow soon (= plate=) Santa & Yuki As in the photo from last year, the bear looks like it's fun. The earlier you wake up, the more you can play in the snow ♪ [Breeding: Kurokawa]

The time of awakening approaching

先週は暖かい日が続いたので獣舎の屋上もすっかり雪がとけて水びたしになってしまいました。 土、日、月と気温も下がり、雪が硬くしまっています。 コウタの部屋の中を観察すると寝床の近くに雪が落ちており、このままではワラが濡れてクマの体温を奪ってしまう為、取除くことにしました。   ←コウタさん 部屋からシュートに出たコウタはゆっくりと確かめるような足取りで数歩歩き、地面や扉の臭いを嗅いだ後、壁に前足をついてゆっくりと立ち上がりました。動きはゆっくりですが、しっかりと2本足で起立して壁に背中をゴシゴシ… 背こすりをして元気な様子を見せてくれました。 体格的には皮下脂肪がなくなったせいで背骨の凹凸が目立ち、全体的に一回り小さくなったような印象を受けました。 今まではシュートに出た後も”ねぼけまなこ”といった感じで「早く部屋に入って眠りたいんだよ」と言いたげな眼をしていましたが、今日のコウタを見ていると目つきもしっかりとしていて冬ごもりが明けに近づいていることを感じさせてくれました。 コウタの様子を確認した後、私たちは部屋に入り雪を取除く作業をしました。 雪の正体は天井にびっしりついた霜でした。  ← 天井が一面真っ白の霜で覆われています 気温の上昇で霜がはがれ落ちてしまったようです。 新しいワラを追加してあげて、コウタを再び部屋の中へ。 扉が開くのをじっと待っていたコウタは部屋に入るとすぐにワラいじりをし始めました。 今年は例年より積雪が少ないように感じます。 気温も暖かいので野生個体が冬ごもりから目覚める時期も早くなるかもしれませんね。 長い冬ごもりの間クマたちはきっと春を心待ちにしているのではないでしょうか。 穴の中で生まれた仔グマが初めて見る外の世界はいったいどんな風に見えるのでしょうね。 クマが穴から出て活動する季節になるとどうしても人間との接触や事故も多くなってしまいます。 春を迎えられたクマたちがまた1年無事に過ごせるように、私たちもルールをしっかり守ってクマとの関係を良いものにしていかなくてはいけませんね。 日常の生活の中では山に暮らすクマを想う時間は少ないかもしれませんが、彼らがずっと北海道の自然の中で生きていけるように一人一人が考えていけたらいいなと感じました。 【飼育:伊藤】

Just as I was sleeping in the winter at the bear house, I discovered this bear☆ I was riding my bike in a school run at a ski resort. We carry brown bear goods even in winter, so please stop by when you come. Well, the weather was mild in the morning and Moko took a pleasant nap on the snow.

It's raining a lot

The snow that has been falling since last night has accumulated about 10cm of snow, and the ventilation opening lid is on the verge of being buried. On days like this, you must first shovel the snow before you can hear your sleep. (If I keep the ears on the lid of the ventilation vent, the snow will be pressed against my face) Lol The past few days have been cold, but when I think about things like, "I'm just a little while away from February," I realize that the days have passed quickly. Early bears will begin to wake up by mid-March. And March has passed in no time! April is here! It's opening! ! I am mainly responsible for creating exhibits in the park, but when I think about what I want to make in time for an open-minded time within the limited time, my brain is likely to erupt (^^;) With the advice of many people, I managed to get it all together. ← Hiroki is curled up in a beautifully prepared bed ↑ Are the bears still sleeping soundly in the winter, looking forward to spring? !
