今日はベアウォッチングバスに乗ってみました。 バスの先に見える2つのおしり。 プリプリさせながら歩いています。 右の先行くクマは尻尾がポッコリとまんまる、 左の追いかけているクマの尻尾は▽。 ここでマニアック問題です！ このおしり（後ろ姿）だけでどのクマだか分かりますか！？ これで分かってしまう方、かなりのベア･マウンテンマニアです☆

ＧＷはお天気に恵まれ、毎日がヒグマ観察日和でした。 ニジマス獲りに挑戦！が終わったヒロタケ。 ベアポイントの池の後ろにある立ち木でスリスリ・ゴシゴシ、 そして木の皮をはいだり、背こすりして満足したのか？奥へ去って行きました。

本日は雨が降ったりやんだりを繰り返すお天気でした。 しかしヒグマたちにとっては過ごしやすい気温、 雨だろうが雪だろうが関係なく元気にしています。 さて、この時期だけのお楽しみ♪ 雪の上に残る足跡を追いかけるとその先には・・・ もちろんヒグマを発見☆ 黒い物体、分かりますか！？ 足跡もじっくり見ると爪や指の形までくっきり付いています。 それにしても内股ですよねぇ。 なんで内股なのかは、飼育スタッフに聞いてみてくださいね！ 明日からお天気が回復する予報です。いよいよGW本番！ 5/5までは17時まで（最終入場16：30）営業時間を延長しますので、 十勝方面へお越しの際はぜひお立ち寄りください。

サホロに来たやんちゃ坊主くん。 まだ3日しか経っていませんが、檻に登ったりジャンプしたりと、日々成長する姿がうかがえます。 今日はミルクタイムを撮ってみました(−ｐ■)ｑ☆パシャッパシャ☆ おとなしくミルクを飲んでいるのかと思ったら、 遊びはじめちゃうのです・・・。 もっとミルク飲んでほしいんですけどね。 遊びに夢中になっていると・・・ ミルクに前脚入っちゃったよぉー まだ名前のついていないこのやんちゃ坊主くんに、ぜひ名前を付けてあげてください！ 5/5まで募集しております☆ それにしてもじっとしていないので、ブレる×2(^▽^;)

GWスペシャル企画として ●4/29〜5/5　こぐまの名前募集！「ぼくのなまえちゅけてね！」 ●4/29〜5/16　こぐま体重当てクイズ を開催します。 やんちゃで元気なかわいいこぐまをご覧いただき、お気軽にご参加ください☆

いよいよ明日オープンに迫ったベア･マウンテン。 今日は新得町内小学校（新得小学校・屈足南小学校・富村牛小学校）新1年生を 学校授業の一環としてご招待しました。 ヒグマの習性や生態などを少しでも学んでもらって出遭い事故などを防ぎ、 自然との共存を目指していけるよう飼育スタッフがガイドとしてご案内。 ベアウォッチングバスから、 ベアポイントからガラス越しに、ヒグマを体感しました。 最初ガラス越しでの迫力に「こわーい」と言っていた女の子たちも 慣れてきたのか？近寄ってきても逃げずに観察できるようになりました。 今年は雪が多く残っているので、GW中はヒグマを見つけやすいですよ！ （白い大地に黒い動く体はとても目立つ） 5/1〜5は閉園時間が1時間延長するので、近くにお越しの際はぜひヒグマたちに会いにいらしてください！

A lively male bear has arrived from the Noboribetsu Bear Farm. There is no name yet. This is a child of a male and female Daikichi and a female Inaho, born in mid-January. We will be on Bare Point for a limited time until May 31st, so please come and see us! *Depending on the weather and physical condition, it may not be possible to view the site.

Those who hit the perfect weight will receive a Bear Mountain annual pass for this season♪ During Golden Week, you will be able to see the impressive brown bear and cute bear. ■A bear has arrived at Saholo! A special cage for bears will be set up for a limited time from April 29th to May 31st. *As we are a child, we may not be able to view the site depending on the climate and physical condition. We cannot even touch each other. Thank you for your understanding. ■Kiri bear weight quiz: April 29th to May 16th Please predict the weight of your bear as it grows rapidly and post it in the application box. Those who receive the 2010 Bear Mountain Annual Pass will be given to those who receive the Perfect Award. Reference weight: 4/22 5100g, 4/23 5200g, 4/24 5500g, 4/25 5700g, 4/26 5700g, 4/27 5800g

The ski resort has also closed, and we are busy preparing for the Bear Mountain opening. Fukinoto gives you a sense of the arrival of spring. When I approached to take a photo, there was also an ants in the picture. The ants also begin their activities in earnest! It seems that Saholo's spring is just around the corner. There are also accommodation plans with tickets, so come and see the brown bears during Golden Week! The brown bears are undergoing a health check to ensure they can stay healthy this season.

A parent-child fight between Kouta (father) and Hirotake (son). After Koji enters arbitration (?) and leaves, he uses his usual backlash to show off, "I'm strong!" Are you close enough to fight? There are two.

We have added a accommodation plan with an admission ticket for Bear Mountain, where you can stay at the Sahoro Resort Hotel! Brown bears' behavior differs depending on the time of day. It's nice to go see them on a day trip, but why not check out the brown bears without worrying about the time? Various accommodation plans can be found here

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]

This may be a surprise, but today (3/31) evening news will be introducing the release of the subpadoc, as it is "the arrival of spring." Today's interview, we have a look at today's broadcast and some sudden announcements, so please take a look. ■■■■ Program name: NHK Network News Hokkaido (in Hokkaido) Posted: Wednesday, March 31st, 18:10-19:00 ■■■■■

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 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]

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]

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]

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】

It's completely spring weather! The sky is slashing blue and feels great! The sunlight reflects off the snow and makes you dazzle! (><) Is it okay to have it warmed so much now? If it continues to warm like this, the bears may wake up faster. Sarah's winter hair gradually began to fall out, and her body was getting stiff, so she lay lying on the ground and rubbing it. ←Sorry Sarah♪ [Breeding: Ito]

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 next to the lift ticket store where customers are constantly waiting than on weekdays, but there's no sign of them waking up. Even though I'm closed my eyes, my face is still alive and well (*^-^)

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? ! [Breeding: Ito]

The air fresheners I had in the toilet have frozen in the cold for the last few days. It's romantic that the sorbet-like air freshener delivers a refreshing fragrance to a bleak toilet! Well, I did the goat's hoof cutting a few days ago. Atsuko is on the left and Yuki is on the right. Personally, I like Atsuko, but sometimes I get intimidated by the corner. First off, Yuki-chan says, "Come, I'll do nothing (insider: I'll choke you and cut your nails)" No, no, Yuki-chan probably reads the atmosphere and doesn't let her go. ...I caught it! ...I've cut it off. The left is the front hoof cutting, and the right is the after hoof cutting. It's not going well at all. We will continue to work hard in the future, so please keep a warm eye on us. I think I'll cut my dog's nails again this time. [Breeding: Kurokawa]
