I found a lot of dogs at the dog park ~ o—-oU ・ E U It was so cute that "Let me take a picture!" and "Can I post it in the Bear Mountain News!?" I walked in. At first, we were welcomed by a large chorus, but even selfishly, "Please let me take a group photo," graciously cooperated. (Thank you <(_ _)>) Sara and Moko bark as if they want to play with them (^^;; They are a family from Obihiro, and in addition to the six cute dogs in the photo, they also have a husky dog. After all, animals are healed, and ♪ the dog run is scheduled to be open in winter, so please come and play!

Finally, I can't stand it anymore if I don't burn the stove morning and night at home ... It's the time of year when the bears are shedding, but I'm amazed at how drastically the joiners change every year! 　 　　→ before (summer) after (autumn) Summer photos are far away and difficult to see, but overall the hair is short and has a smooth impression. Especially around the neck and arms... Recently, long, soft winter hair has grown back and it seems to be very warm. It's like a carpet! Since it is so muffled, "forbidden thoughts" such as "I want to touch it ...". 　← joiner that sticks out of the screen.　It's huge!! 　　 Beautiful autumn leaves behind Rokuta resting in Shigemi [Breeding: Ito]

Yellow Leaf is also in the final game. As early as next week, 10/25 (Sunday), the 2009 business will end. There are only a few left!! It's easy to spot the black figure of a brown bear in the yellow leaves! And Joyner, her face is golden, so she matches the yellow leaves and is in a chameleon state (laughs) Bonus: Atsuko who is happy with the yellow leaf back

It is a promenade with a refreshing autumn breeze. There are green signs on both sides of the promenade. There is also a quiz secretly posted This quiz is very high-tech (!?). If (^^) you scan the QR code at the bottom right of the quiz with the QR code reading function of your mobile phone... The answer will appear on your phone screen! ♪ Since it is only read, there is no communication charge. There is nothing to block the promenade when the wind blows, so it was quickly broken down if it was a flipping type quiz. (Days of being busy rebuilding and reinforcing ...) A collaboration between Director Sakaide and me! This method is safe and does not waste paper. Please try the QR code quiz full of trivia about brown bears! [Breeding: Ito]

Sahoro was hardly affected by the typhoon, but on the first day of the three-day holiday, it is a wonderful autumn sun. This is exactly what a typhoon is all about! You can see the mountains of the Hidaka Mountains and the yellow leaves of Mt. Sahoro. Well, there are still some vacancies at the Sahoro Resort Hotel, which is about a 2-minute drive from Bear Mountain. We also have accommodation plans with Bear Mountain, so please come and visit us if you think about it. Of course, you can ( ̄(エ) ̄) also stop by, even if it's sunny, the maximum temperature is forecast to be 15 ° C, so it's very cold to observe without a jacket (()(=_=)) Please take measures against the cold and come and play.

There was almost no impact from the typhoon that we were worried about, and although it was delayed by one hour, we were able to open safely! However, perhaps the bears have become better due to the release of the animals at a time shift of one hour, and they usually go out of the animal house to the zoo, but today they don't come out at all (T△T) In particular, Shingo and Makoto may have mistakenly thought that they were contained (they can go back to their rooms and eat food), and once they went out into the park, they came back to the gate before they knew it. Bears have their own rhythm of life... Sorry. (But it's a typhoon, so I can't help it!) In the afternoon, the sun came through thin clouds. We hope that the weather will improve for the three-day holiday. So, did the typhoon bring cold air with you? I could see a faint snow near the top of the mountain that I could see from Sahoro. ↑ The triangular pointed mountain in the foreground is Mt. Shimohorokametok. The mountain behind it is also covered with snow ... This year, winter may be coming early. [Breeding: Ito]

I was distracted by Typhoon No. 18 and was completely late in uploading (excuse me, Sumimasen (^^;;) Today, Bear Mountain will be introduced on TV Hokkaido's "Playful DJ". It will be broadcast only in Hokkaido, but if you have time, please take a look. The Sahoro area is hardly affected by the typhoon, and we will be open for three consecutive holidays.

As you can see, the pond is located at Bear Point, but the depth is different on the left and right sides of the large pillar. Promenade side (left): Shallow/water level below belly Sahorodake side (right): deep/water level up to the mouth Can you tell? When they came to the right side where the water was deep, the bears were walking with just the toes of their large feet touching the bottom of the pond. Are they standing on their tiptoes to poke their heads out of the water? Are you standing on your tiptoes due to buoyancy? I'm not sure, but it looks like it would be fun to walk around in the water ♪

This year, it seems that due to lack of sunlight, the growth of crops in the fields is delayed and the crops are failing. What about the fruit of the mountains? I checked the fruits of Quercus oak, Japanese mountain grape, and Japanese oak that grow all over the Bear Mountain park. There were fewer Quercus oaks near the promenade than last year, but they were actually bearing fruit. The fruit has swollen and ripened to a brown color, and I was wondering if the squirrels would come and eat it again this year, when I noticed that most of the fruit was gone. Maybe it fell to the ground, or maybe a squirrel ate it up without me knowing... Anyway, the fruit disappeared too quickly this year. Yeah. There was also a difference between trees with a lot of fruit and trees without. ↑Precious fruit. Yamabudu between 5 and 6 seconds. A Japanese kingfisher next to the animal house. Last year's harvest was poor, but this year's harvest was spectacular! ! I gave this to Santa at the animal shelter. Sweet like a kiwi fruit and refreshingly sour★ Santa enjoyed eating each one, savoring each one. I found a germinated Quercus acorn! I hope it grows big and bears fruit. “Recent personal/favorite shot” Hirotake slumbering in the autumn sunshine [Created by: Ito]

As I am mainly in charge of the animal shelter, I have a very important companion. Animal houses are always worked in teams of two, but partners in the workshop may change. My true companion is the ``hat'' that I always wear when entering the animal enclosure. but! As expected, I forgot the hat at the office. Something is wrong! ? Even though I was flustered, a gentle yet firm willpower pierced through me! ``Make me your head'' Your new partner is a guardian deity with a strong body and great tolerance! ! Now, to my head! Pile○daon! ! Perfect finish, it was only worn for one day. [Breeding: Kurokawa]

"Weight Guess Quiz" starting from October 1st *Click here for details This year, these four brown bears are the targets. How much weight have you gained since April? Make your predictions and get next year's annual passport! ! Kumaemon 262kg　　　　　　　Koji 261kg　　　　　　　　　Kouta 229kg　　　　　　　　　　　　Canta 295kg *Weight was measured in April. Correct answers to the quiz will be measured in November, before the winter holidays.

I found a bear nestling under the promenade. Is this slender body...? a! It was over here! It was a dogfish after all! I was taking a nap under the promenade, but I woke up slowly. Does it look a little sleepy? Lionmaru finished bathing. It has a ``dazzling face'' when the setting sun hits it. LOL This is also Yawara with a ``joyful face'' after taking a bath in cold spring water. The temperature is getting colder and the autumn leaves are becoming more visible. Bears are also hungry for autumn. They bathe in the water, take naps, and move around actively in search of food...maybe this is the most comfortable season for bears? ! The trees in the park are starting to shed their leaves, so you can see farther than in the summer, making it easier to spot bears. Personally, I think this period is the most suitable for observation. I love the soft sunlight and pleasant breeze that is unique to autumn when I walk along the promenade. Everyone, please enjoy viewing the autumn leaves and observing the bears (^▽^) [Raising: Ito]

Silver week is over, isn't it? It's starting to get much colder in the mornings and evenings. Everyone please take care of your health! ! Yesterday was the last day of the salmon giveaway. Since it was the last day of the event, I decided to select bears who had never been to a salmon event before and lead them to Bear Point. First, place a live salmon in front of the canter! However, perhaps because it was so lively, it ran away in the blink of an eye. Hmm, last year, Canter was playing with a salmon on his belly, so I was hoping for a good reaction, saying, "Are you going to catch it this year?!" But...disappointing! ! Kouta and Hiroki, who I gave them next, showed interest but were unable to catch them. Hiroki sniffed the salmon odor and then rubbed his cheek against his own, covering himself with the salmon odor. We apologize to the customers who were expecting a dynamic scene... but! Immediately after that, the Yawara next to me ate up the salmon that Hiroki left behind (^^) At around 2:30 pm, Joyner, an expert fish catcher, and Hirotake appeared at the pond.They seemed to sense the presence of Hiroki and started looking for salmon with their faces in the pond. In between searches, the two of them got up and played wrestling. While playing and distracting Joyner, Hirotake shrewdly steals Joyner's salmon...! When Joyner caught a live salmon using his specialty ``hunting strategy,'' the customers watching him cheered, saying ``Good job!'' and ``Wow!'' Hirotake also found a submerged salmon and pressed it against the glass, chomping on it. Salmon is also a valuable source of nutrition for bears before winter. I'm glad you enjoyed it. [Breeding: Ito]

With just one day left in Silver Week, the leaves of the maple trees and wild grapes in the park are starting to turn red. The autumn leaves season is finally here! Throughout October, we will be holding a "Guess the weight of a brown bear" quiz, and we look forward to your participation. Now, Joyner found some salmon left at the bottom of the pond in ``Present Autumn Salmon to Brown Bear.'' They posed in front of the camera as if to say, "I caught it!" Am I the only one who looks proud?

As we announced in the Bear Mountain News the other day, Sahoro Resort will be featured on BS Nippon Television's "Hokkaido Star". Please take a look. ┏┓┗■　BS Nippon TV “Hokkaido Style” 9/27 (Sun) 12:00-12:25　└────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────── BS Nippon Television "Hokkaido Street" In addition to introducing people's slow lifestyles, this program proposes new lifestyles based on themes such as businesses that are rooted in the local area.

Today was an event where we presented salmon to the bears. Joyner carried the salmon to the edge of the pond, but it was snatched away by Hirotake. (Photo: Hirotake who stole the salmon and Joiner with a troubled look on his face) Afterwards, Joyner found the salmon that another bear had given up in the pond and carried it to the edge of the pond. The autumn salmon giveaway will be held at Bear Point in the park from 13:00 on September 20th, 21st, and 22nd, so please come and see us! [Breeding: Nakasuji]

We cleaned the pond in preparation for the "Autumn Salmon Present for Brown Bears" which will be held tomorrow! First, drain the water from the pond and capture the rainbow trout in the pond! (Take shelter in the box until the cleaning is finished) Remove the bear's loose hair and fallen leaves, remove a large amount of mud, polish the glass, and remove the mud! When I put it into words, it seems like it was all over easily... It's a large pond, so by the time we finished, the sun had set (@△@;) The rainbow trout that had evacuated were released again, and the two salmon that had just been brought in today were also released earlier. "My back is hurting. I want the bears to do their best tomorrow!" With this, when the bears chase the salmon tomorrow, it will be less likely that they will lose track of the salmon because the mud from the bottom will fly up (><)... ! How will the bears react tomorrow? ! Please come and witness the bears' hard work "live"! [Breeding: Ito]

"Autumn salmon present to brown bears" will be held from tomorrow. The autumn salmon is ready! ! How do you catch and eat big salmon? Although it is behind glass, it is an event that can only be seen at Bear Mountain. Please come and see for yourself.

Suzunosuke is in a good mood. He arrived just as the other bears had moved from Bear Point to another location, so Suzunosuke had the large pond all to himself. They are enjoying playing in the water, splashing as much as they can. It seems that brown bears are not good at getting water in their ears, so usually none of them dip their ears in water. (Even Hirotake, who is good at catching fish, tries not to put his ears in the water, no matter how excited he is♪) However, today Suzunosuke was at his most excited and splashed his head in the water! ! But did I really dislike it? ! I immediately shook my head to get the water out of my ears. LOL And Hirotake got a rainbow trout today too. Just like last time, I attacked it with my front legs and held it in my hands while bringing it to my mouth. Bears have a habit of aiming for bait in the same place once they have learned the taste, so it seems that Hirotake has memorized the taste of rainbow trout well and tries it repeatedly. [Breeding: Ito]

It's been a long time since I've been cheerful in a half-sleeve! The bears are crooked in their favorite shades. Makoto is between shelters 2 and 3, with a log on the side of the bus road... Lokta has 5 shelters, at the base of a large tree ...　I woke up after noticing the signs, and my left forelimb is up! Is it a waste to sleep in the grass that can be seen from the promenade? Mumble... Bear Mountain was the oldest dog at 26 years old! Apparently, he ate green grass before going to sleep. When he walked past Makoto again, he heard a haahaaa and a rough breath. The sun has hit the place that was in the shade a while ago, and it has become (^^;) hot [Breeding: Ito]

It was a pleasant day with plenty of sunshine and a refreshing breeze from the afternoon. Today, for the first time in a long time, Hirotake was able to get a rainbow trout. Aiming at the rainbow trout that was swimming in the shallow water of the pond, I quickly attacked with my left forelimb! I was able to catch it brilliantly by holding it firmly to the bottom of the pond with my front paws. However, after that, he was stiff for a while as if he didn't know what to do ... （＠-＠；） Carefully slid the front paws towards you, pinched the rainbow trout with both hands, and hurriedly scooped up! (>△<) I was completely relieved when I brought it to my mouth, but I took it out of my mouth and caught it again ... I kept repeating it, but at the end of the day, I was eating it slowly. 　　 Recently, I've been able to get away with it, but it seems (^^) that Hirotake is also enthusiastic about the autumn salmon present [Breeding: Ito]

The bears of Bear Mountain have a "home" to return to in the evening. It is a building called a beast house, and the inside is a private room. In the evening, the bears walk back to the barn. (Accurate belly clock?!) In the barn, they are fed once a day in the evening. Today's menu is... ・ Pellets for bears ・ Mixed rice (food mixed with beets and corn pellets, vitamins and minerals) ・ Apples And and! The best part of the day is the sweet and savory watermelon! I gave it to all 18 bears. Seasonal tastes, the bears happily (^^) munched on the watermelon peel Bears eat the skin of the watermelon, bears leave the skin and scrape the fruit cleanly. Seeing the bears eating deliciously made me want to eat watermelon too! Lol [Breeding: Ito]
