I didn't have much opportunity to hold my camera today, so I was only able to take one picture. The person who slept with his face out of the yabu in the 3 shelter was Makoto, who had a chubby stomach and a "metabolic syndrome". I closed and opened my eyes and was slumbering (-u-) [Breeding: Ito]

Lokta is dressed weirdly next to the bus! What on earth are you doing? （？ _？ When I looked closely, I saw that he was stretching out his legs and scratching his inner thighs with his front paws! (laughs) Even after the bus passed...　Staring into the distance and meditating?? 　 　"Ha! I found a small customer on a tree near the animal barn! Last fall, there was a squirrel that appeared to eat the acorns of the Mizunara tree next to the promenade. By now, the chipmunks will be busy preparing for hibernation. I would be happy ♪ if you could show up again [Breeding: Ito]

The past two days have been peaceful for Hirotake and Suzunosuke. The reason for this is that Kumaemon, who is not good at two dogs, has not been released for a medical examination. Right: Kumaemon who shuts up even when a crying child (laughs) In the summer, Kumaemon was almost unthreatening to other bears and was as docile as another bear, but recently he is (^^;) being feared as if he is regaining his former appearance Both Suzunosuke and Hirotake leave the place when they sense the signs of Kumaemon, who is not good at it. After the health checkup, they will come out in the park again in good spirits, but they will meet again for the first time in a long time ... How will Hirotake and Suzunosuke react? "I haven't seen Kumaemon lately-" Suzunosuke "What, I thought it was Kumaemon, but it was a different bear-" Hirotake Kumaemon, don't (^^) frighten other bears too much [Breeding: Ito]

The typhoon has passed, and the blue sky spreads in Sahoro in the afternoon. In the sun-drenched pond of Bear Point, rainbow trout swim gracefully. The acorns of the Mizunara tree right next to the promenade are also swelling. Hiroki flinching in the shade of a tree by the bus road. Pull the camera ...... Well! Where is Hiroki!? As the weather cools down, the bears finally start preparing for winter. From September 19th to 22nd, we will also hold an "Autumn Salmon Present for Brown Bears". Please (^^) come and see the bears who have reached the autumn of appetite [Breeding: Ito]

Suzunosuke of Kuishinbo. Today I was munching on clover along the road. Open your big mouth..."Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh Eat it with bubble wrap. Delicious! Where should I go to find food next? It's getting cooler with every rain. The bears are also getting more and more voracious day by day as they head into winter. [Breeding: Ito]

Hello. It was raining heavily in the morning, but it cleared up beautifully in the afternoon. Beware of mosquito infestations! The bears were bathing in the sun for the first time in a long time. The puddle in the park was like a public bath. [Breeding: Kurokawa]

Bear Point is Koji's favorite. My good friend Hirotake and I are bathing in the pond today. Did you walk through the yabu on your way to Bear Point? Bamboo leaves are hanging on the buttocks. Hardcore (?!) It is a bamboo leaf that does not suit Koji with a personality. (^3^) 〜Once a delusion〜 ← Puka Puka from the buttocks ... I'm sure it's like this... The bamboo propeller on the buttocks starts to rotate ... I wonder if I'm going to look for my good friend Hirotake... (It was too silly!) Koji, I'm sorry! [Breeding: Ito]

In order to survive the hot summer, the breeding staff gave the brown bears ice with homemade snacks. Hirotake showed interest in the ice placed next to the bus path so that he could see it from the bear watching bus. In order to take out only the snacks that are laid out in the middle, I hold a large ice cube weighing about 20 kg with one hand and lay it down, and scratch it out with my proud claws. And maybe I wanted to break the ice with my weight, so I put my forelimbs on the ice and pushed it from above, but I couldn't move forward and push it well. Roll the ice again and go to the shoulder of the road. Is it not so obsessive? Without even looking at him, he disappeared into the forest with his companion.

It rained for the first time in a long time, and the temperature dropped, making it a happy day for the bears. Today, the joiner is busy carrying nest materials to make the cave comfortable. Collecting grass has been a recent craze, but today it is Nantes! Even a small pine tree growing nearby fell prey to the joiner. Moreover, even though I brought it all the way, I don't sleep on the pine ...! I'm sure I'm not the only one who saw the profile of the joyner sleeping next to Matsu looking heartlessly satisfied. "I did it again today." If you're lucky enough to see a whimsical joiner making a bed, please take a closer look! [Breeding: Ito]

I'm doing a "gacha gacha" where you can win Bear Mountain original goods!!! The contents of the prize are... ● Profile magnet ● 5-sheet postcard ● Paw strap ● Original T-shirt is available. An original gacha gacha that may win a T-shirt for 300 yen one time. I don't know what will come out, how ♪ about luck ( ̄ー + ̄) Shop manager: Koyamauchi

It's been a long time since the sun has passed. There are many trees around the animal house (bear house), and the negative ions that are popular now are in full swing. Sometimes I feel hot and tired while working, but it feels like "summer!" for the first time in a long time. Summer in Hokkaido often passes before you know it, so don't (^^) forget to enjoy it By the way, there is a birch growing near the animal house, do you see the hole in the center of the photo? In fact, it is a place where birds visit every year, although I have not confirmed the species, and make it their home. In the course of my work, I often pass by it, and sometimes I hear a voice squealing. I'm wondering what kind of bird it is, but we'll keep a quiet eye on it. [Breeding: Kurokawa]

Right in the middle of the bus course, I found a joiner sleeping on the ridge of the 3rd stream! Did you find it?! Mr. Joyner, it's (^^) an "actor" to sleep in a place where you can easily see from the bus 20 minutes later... After another 20 minutes... I tried not to pass by the jeep as much as possible so as not to wake up, but sometimes I slept in a different pose every time I passed by (laughs). It may be ♪ interesting to pay attention to the bear's nap pose and observe it [Breeding: Ito]

Today, we held our first "Ice Giveaway" of the season! Ice was installed in three locations: at the 3rd shelter, at the end of the road, and in front of the glass at Bear Point. Makoto was the first to find ice at Bear Point. Makoto, who came to Bear Point unusually, snuggled his nose! Perhaps attracted by the unusual smell, I found ice and immediately began to pluck my favorite apple with my claws on my paws. 　Gari-gari, hoji-hoji! 　I'm obsessed with eating delicious apples and pellets. However... Makoto, who had finished eating the delicious part, was satisfied, took a bath, and left. ( ́ to ') only about 30 minutes during this time ... The point of reflection this time was that the delicious part was easily eaten. The next time I make ice, I want to use the "delicious part last" strategy to make the ice last ♪ longer so that the bears don't get tired of it. 　Inuo: Feast ♪ (at the endpoint) ■ Ice gift for brown bears 8/2, 8, 9, 15, 16 9 a.m. [Breeding: Ito]

Hello! I'm Nekko, an apprentice! I've been studying at Bear Mountain since the 21st. There are still so many things I don't know, and every day is fresh! I can't believe I can see a bear so close... I'm happy! The work is slow, and it's hard to remember the bear's name, so I keep bothering the staff. It's a short period until the end of the training, but I'll do my best, so thank you! 【Trainee Neko】

A stag appears in front of the ticket office! When you think of summer, it's a "stag", isn't it? It is very popular with boys, and there are times when not only the little ones but also the father are staring at them. Stag beetles also live in Sahoro. During this time of summer vacation, we also offer a tour called "Hoe Finding Team" for guests only. Why don't ♪ you stay at Sahoro to make memories of your summer vacation and try various activities such as brown bear observation and hoe finding party ■ Hoe Finding Team (Guests Only) Period: 7/18-8/16 Time: 19:00-1 Fee Adults: 1,050 yen, Elementary school students and younger: 525 yen Reservation Bear Mountain Resort Center (8:00-17:00) Tel. 0156-64-7007 　☆ Bear Mt. and hoe finding team are packed [Summer Vacation Family Plan] is recommended ☆

There is a small pond (biotope) in the center of Bear Point. This pond was handmade by the zookeeper with the hope that frogs and insects would come. I did a general cleaning of the pond today, but I can't see the bottom because of the accumulation of fallen leaves and mud (><;) While pumping water out of the bucket, I found a suspicious shadow moving. It's huge!　It's so big! It was a big yago that must have been 5 to 6 cm. This yago was the pond nushi! I pray that the pond will be comfortable to live in and grow into a magnificent dragonfly. Joiner relaxing on his favorite mound [Breeding: Ito]

Bears don't care about bear-watching buses at all. They walk right next to it, take a nap on the bus road, and don't react to the bus. After marking with the symbol tree, Suzunosuke goes to the top of the hill to steal the snack. Push out the bear that was ahead of you and Suzunosuke wins! When bears meet each other, they greet each other by smelling each other's odors, threaten them with their voices, and run away at a glance when they find a strong partner. This time, it was Suzunosuke who closed the gap and succeeded in pushing out without touching the opponent.

Sahoro Resort is introduced in a special feature in the August/September issue of MID Style published by a general dealer of imported cars. Not only Bear Mountain, but also information on Sahoro such as activities, hotels, and restaurants is posted over 7P. It will be distributed at MID dealers from 7/25 in Sapporo and 7/27 in Hakodate and Kanto areas, so if you see it, please pick it up and take a look. Kumaemon and Joiner were taken in a cool photo (*^-^) http://www.bubu-iss.com/news.html#midstyle

Unfortunately, the sky is rainy and the sky is unusual, but the bears seem to be spending their time comfortably. 2. The leaves of the Yellow-bellied Plant, which can be seen from the shelter, have turned pink. According to the encyclopedia, "The white part of the tip of the leaf turns pink during the flower season." Naruhodo! The saplings planted in the center of Bear Point have also grown greatly. Joiner is still in the cave today with Sesse Sesse and Grass [♪ Breeding: Ito]

ベアマウンテンで最高齢のイヌオおじいちゃん。 ２、３日前だったでしょうか。久しぶりに晴れたポカポカ陽気の午後、バス道の脇でお昼寝をしていました。 きもちよさそう〜（＾＾）なんて思いながら、顔をよーく見てみたら・・・ は・・・半眼！（＠△＠；）?　お口もゆるゆる・・・！！ いったいどんないい夢をみていたのでしょうか。 その後、寝ていた場所に日が当たり始めると暑かったのでしょうか？場所を移動してお昼寝を再開していました。 ＜おまけ＞ 今日はあいにくの雨。「アンニュイなヒロタケ」 【飼育：伊藤】

またまたやってくれました！！ 洞窟の前にいるジョイナー。 なにやらゴソゴソしていました。 もしや？！ と思いすぐに遊歩道に上って見てみると・・・ またまたやってくれました！！ 草を集めて巣作り？！ 遊歩道の下に生えていた草を一生懸命運んでいました！！ さらに洞窟の中に運びます。 なにを思ったのか途中でやめてしまい池に魚を探しに行ってしまいました。 ジョイナーは他のクマがいなくなると池に行ってしまうので 今日の巣作り（？）はこれでお終いかぁ・・・（＾＾；） なんて思っていると・・・ 夕方にまたジョイナーが現れました！！ そしてまたひたすら草を洞窟に運びます。 洞窟の中では集めた草を広げたり集めたりしていました。 その後、また池に魚とりに行き 今日の巣作り（？）はこれで終了してジョイナーは獣舎に帰っていきました。 最終的に洞窟の中はこんな感じに・・・ まさに本当に冬ごもりしてしまいそうですね（＾＾；） ジョイナーの今後の行動にさらに期待です（｀△´） 【飼育：宮武】

先月（2009年6月10日）に創刊されたバイリンガルマガジン『SAPPORO SOURCE』。 タイトルの通りSAPPORO（札幌）に滞在する外国人をメーンに、地元密着の情報を発信するフリーマガジンで、7月号にて『ベア･マウンテン』が紹介されました。 英語だけではなく、日本語でも紹介されていますので英語が苦手な方でも情報が得られます。 札幌に設置されていますので、見かけた方はぜひお手に取ってお読みくださいませ。

春から初夏にかけてはクマたちの恋の季節で、ベアマウンテンのクマたちもこの時期ならではの行動をします。 自分の存在をアピールする「背こすり」が多くみられるのもこの時期です。 ↑ベアポイントのガラスにごしごし・・・「おれは強いんだぞ〜」 そしてこの時期に見られる”団体行動” クマの中には、相性の良い個体同士で一緒に行動するものや、しきりにニオイをかぎあうもの・・・ 他の個体の存在を意識した行動が目立つ時期になります。 この団体行動はベアマウンテン特有のものなのでしょうか？はっきりとはわかりませんが発情期がすぎるとピタッとしなくなることが多いので、まさに不思議です（＾＾；） ↑クマたちから人気者のキャンタ。キャンタを中心として４、５頭のグループになることがあり、スタッフの間では「キャンタグループ」や「キャンタ御一行様」なんて呼んだりします。 （それにしてもなぜキャンタは人気者なんでしょう？！がっちりした体つきがオトコらしいのでしょうか？！　＾＾） ↑お互いにニオイをかぎあい挨拶するクマたち 最近は発情もおさまりつつあり、クマたちも落ち着きを取り戻してきました。 これからの季節はクマたち、私たちにとっても暑さが厳しく感じられると思いますが、クマたちには園内の冷たい沢で身体を冷やしてガンバってのりきってもらいたいです（＾▽＾） 【飼育：伊藤】

顔のまわりの毛が巻いていて、学校の音楽室に張ってあるバッ○さんやベートー○ンさんをちょっと髣髴させる風貌のジョイナーさん。 中身はやさしいクマさんなだけですけどね。 朝！ジョイナーの巻き毛に、アオムシ（ライムグリーンの尺取虫）がついているのを発見！ （発信機と口のちょうど中間、おわかりになりますでしょうか。 ） 昼！アオムシはジョイナーの左目の上へ！（笑）。むずむずしないのかしら。 実際、野生のクマさんも、さまざまな生き物の移動に役に立っているとか。例えば、種子散布・・・。 こうして毛について移動する、ちゃっかりものもいますし。草の種が毛について移動、というのが王道ですけども。 種を果実とともに食べてもらうことで、うんちとして別の場所に移動！というのもありです。 持ちつ持たれつ。 それにうんちは栄養にもなるスグレモノ！
