Recently, you can often see individuals that eat grass such as clover and butterbur in the park. I heard that butterbur stems were eaten as traces of brown bears in the mountains, but bears in Bear Mountain prefer to eat leaves. Is it because the stem part is hard and strong? And depending on the individual, some bears eat butterbur, while others do not eat at all. Bears have different tastes. 【Veterinarian: Sugo】

The bear taking a nap in front of Bear Point had the soles of its feet attached to the glass, so I compared the sizes. Not only the length, but also the width is by far the largest. (The shoe is 24 cm) And as you can see, there is a heel. Since the entire sole of the foot is attached to the ground, it feels stable even on two legs and can stand well. Even in the park, they show you standing up when rubbing your back (marking) or wrestling. The fact that the soles of the feet are shaped differently between the front and hind legs is also an observation point!

Left: Makoto Right: Hirotake I was able to capture such a bear's expression on camera. In the past few days, I have often seen bears bathing in the cheerful weather. I would like to upload such a scene next time, so please look forward to it! 【Zookeeper: Ito】

Sahoro has entered the season of fresh greenery. Light shines through the leaves, and the brown bear's hair looks sparkling after bathing. Hirotake, who was struggling, also looked a little smiling. The leaves of trees that you usually can't observe without looking up can be carefully observed right in front of you on the 5-meter-high promenade. In addition, the remaining snow from the distant Daisetsuzan mountain range remains near the summit. There are many things to see, such as brown bears, landscapes, and plant observations. If you are using the Bear Watching Bus, we recommend the promenade course to return from Bear Point.

I was about to eat a snack that had fallen to the ground, but I stretched out my tongue as much as I could to eat it while I was sleeping. This photo was taken from inside the bear-watching bus, but even if the bus is so close, the bear doesn't matter. I was lying down and relaxing.

Hirotake mushrooms have been a little depressed recently. I showed up at Bear Point, where Kanta, who was not good at it, was sitting there relaxing. However, Hirotake is lying face down a little farther away and has a "face when he is in a bad time". Koji, Hirotake's uncle, gently approached and lay face down next to Hirotake in the same pose. Is it comforting? Or did you just come near because you were worried about Hirotake? It was a scene where you could almost hear the chatter of two horses. 【Zookeeper: Ito】

[5/25 Indulge in thoughts? ] It is a continuation of]. Hirotake, who has been subjected to moxibustion, has recently been using a cave in Bear Point as a fort. As if "The housekeeper has seen it!", I stepped out of the cave and checked the bear gathered in front of Bear Point. When Kumaemon comes, he hides in the cave, and when he disappears, he comes out, repeatedly. Visitors said, "There are various brown bear worlds," and they couldn't take their eyes off Hirotake. Top left: Check who is in front of Bear Point Top right: Hirotake peeking out of the cave. There is a scar above the right eye. Lower left: A little outside to the plow where Kumaemon went to the pond... Bottom right: Kumaemon has returned, so hurry back to the cave

Misumi and Kumaemon broke hirotake's nose, who were tengu. I caught the appearance of meeting with hisohiso in Sasa bush beforehand??? Misumi's mouth is just like, "All right, I'm going first, so if you give me a signal, come out." It seems that Kumaemon in Sasabubu also lurks, "Ok, I'm hiding here and on standby." I'm not sure if I had such a meeting, but the breeding staff stared at the secret meeting of the bear from the jeep.

Hirotake is still a mischievous bear, such as chasing rainbow trout vigorously in a pond because it is 9 years old and young, and leaning in from behind other bears and clinging to gaburi. Have you recently become stronger and want to save yourself the skills of your fight? The trouble with other bears stands out. But his test of skill was a problem of surprise attacks at only bears weaker than him. When a strong bear comes near you, it will not be gone... Moxibustion has been put away at last in such Hirotake. Misumi fights for 1 or 2 with the strength of the fight. The two were meeting at BarePoint and appealing each other's existence with a back rubbing. And it develops into a fight from the voice of intimidation, And Bear Emon who teamed up with Misumi also participated and fought 2-on-1! Hirotake, who was also motivated, also twisted his ears behind his ears and "Maita~" Hirotake's long nose, which was completely tengu, was broken, and she lost confidence. The worry that a weak bear and an old bear were injured decreased, but hirotake seemed to stare at the distance, and indulge in the desire even today only three days later. Do young bears grow up by experiencing "losing" like this? This time, I want you to do your best not to fight, but to take fish. 【Zookeeper: Ito】

The appearance after playing in the water. Are you thinking, "What shall I do next?" I stopped and listened to the surroundings. The strong and dignified behind it, it will be indemnified.

5月も後半だというのに、ただいまサホロの気温9℃（9:00現在）。寒いです。しかし、ヒグマたちにとっては快適に過ごせる気温と言われています。そして雨が降っても、いつもと変わらない行動をしています。イヤ、むしろ日中気温が上がらないので活発に動き回っています。 こんな日こそ！ヒグマの観察に適していると思います。 今は霧がかかっていてこれもまた幻想的.。o○ 霧の中を歩くヒグマの姿も乙なものです。 ビニール傘のレンタル（無料）をしておりますし、ベアウォッチングバスに乗ってしまえば雨に当たる時間は少なくなります。 天気が良い日も悪い日も、ヒグマたちは気ままに過ごしていますので、天候を気にせずお越しください<(_ _)>

Park golf course in front of Sahoro Resort Hotel, OPENED. This sport is fun for children because it uses one club dedicated to park golf and a special ball larger than a golf ball. Recently, there are many children who start playing golf since they were young, and families who enjoy a splendid swing can be seen. Please feel free to use it. =======================================================================================================================================================================================================================================================================

I was able to take a special photo, so I will upload it immediately! Shingo, 25, the oldest in Bear Mountain. Looking at Shingo's face that came out of the sasayab, I almost blew out! The branch sticks to Shingo's nose. It's as if a father at a banquet put disposable chopsticks on his nose. This person in question is very usual. Is there any discomfort in your nose? After that, it seemed to have been able to take it naturally and it was relieved. (If you look closely, it was a part of the stem of bamboo grass, not a branch) But did it stick to it when eating food? Is it when you're flinching? I'm not sure, but zookeepers may also be surprised. Please observe the behavior of the bears carefully when you come. 【Breeding Staff: Ito】

You've probably eaten clover somewhere. I put food scraps around my mouth and my nose and saw this place with my gokigen face. Don't you look like you're saying ,"It was so delicious"! ? When you put it in Hokkaido dialect, it is "Umara Umatebeya" (laughs)

≪NEWS≫ Joiner was chasing rainbow trout in the pond of BarePoint! Joyner who enters the pond first grouses the ditch of the shallow water by the hand. (You remember it properly because you've found fish here before!) Put your face on the water and slowly move deep into the pond, "Are there any fish?" And rainbow trout found! It jumps with great virch aiming at a small fish! However, it is not possible to catch the rainbow trout which is small and moves fast easily. In between chasing rainbow trout, lying logs, hugging logs, rubbing your body against rocks, innocently watching joiners playing vigorously are very excited. Unfortunately I couldn't catch it, but I was satisfied playing a lot or left bare point. Next time...! I want to expect it. I think that it will increase to play in the water when the temperature goes up from now on. Please come and observe the bears playing innocently.

I took a pleasant nap in front of Bare Point. The soles of my feet looked good, so I was very comfortable. Up's forefoot is on the left. In human beings, the thumbs are thick and the little fingers are thin, but the brown bears are thicker and larger on the little toes. But is this big sole soft? Is it hard? Ask the breeding staff.

The markings I often see rub the back side against the standing tree, but I took a close shot because I was facing the stomach side to the standing tree as if climbing a tree. When I looked closely, it seemed that the nails of the forefoot were sharpened with wood. There are many standing trees in the park where you can see the marked parts of the back rubbing and claw marks. It is particularly easy to find when riding a bare-watching bus, so please check the marking marks at the same time as looking for bears. This ← taken in the winter when the park is closed.

Koji has a crisp face, but today it is such an interesting face ...! The top of the bear cave in Bear Point is often a place where bears take a nap, but koji scissors the branches of the fallen tree with the front paws. When I watch the bears play in a hurry and take a rest with a calm expression, it softens to this place somehow. 【Breeding Staff: Ito】

Spring is coming early! It is said, but summer is already in Sahoro! ? I found the shell of the cicadas!!!! Even though I found it, this shell was from last year. As expected, the ciccadas do not cry yet. It is about a 2-minute drive from Bear Mountain. It is the north building square of Sahoro Resort Hotel. Every year, native flowers such as katakuri and Ezo-engosaku seen in mid-to-late May bloomed on April 24th this year. It is a shell which I found when I went to take a picture of the flower. You endured without falling still in the snow that piles up more than 1m. The larvae might be waiting for summer to come still in the soil now.

On May 3, 4, and 5, I went to "Challenge to catch rainbow trout!" Could you take a look? I took the first video (11:00) today (5/5), so please enjoy it for both those who watched the real thing and those who did not. - Clinton who could not catch rainbow trout in the pond, to push to try to intercept rainbow trout near Kumaemon. Koji trying to secretly spill so as not to barre on the right side of the screen

Cherry blossoms are also in full bloom! It's warm and cheerful like early summer and hot for bears?! Today, we released rainbow trout as a GW event. The movement seemed to have struggled with a small rainbow trout, but Koji and Kumaemon suppressed with their forefoot splendidly, and caught it. Joyner grabs a fish and quickly goes into the bushes so that other bears can't find it. After that, I tasted it slowly. The photo may be a little small and confusing because it was taken from the top of the promenade, but koji is holding down rainbow trout with the front paws and eating it. Rainbow trout release is scheduled from 11:00 to 13:00 on May 4 and 5. We look forward to your coming! 【Breeding Staff: Ito】

Today, a new bear came to Bear Mountain. Masato 30 years old ♂ bear of the highest age in Bear Mountain. The feature is a red body, yellow eyes, always raising both hands. Well, it is a bear drawn by footprint painting rather than real. From the ticket office 2F to the bare-watching bus stop, the "bear footprints" painted by the visitors continue. Please proceed to the park while enjoying this place. The footprints are almost the same size and stride as life-size.

As of 3:00 p.m. on Friday, May 2, sunny, 26 degrees Celsius. The cherry blossoms in the park have also begun to bloom. Usually, cherry blossoms begin to bloom after GW, but this year it is early. Enjoy the scenery around, not to mention the bears. Bare-watching bus driver: Satake

Yesterday (5/1), I went to Promote Bear Mountain at STV's Dosanko Wide 180 "Street Corner 30 Seconds Game". As expected, the appearance of the walk tour was floating in front of Sapporo Station, but I did not worry about the piercing glance and advertised energetically. Could you take a look? On May 3, 4, and 5, brown bears will try to catch rainbow trout, and there are plenty of events such as hot air balloon experience test ride! The cherry blossoms in Sapporo were about to end, but the cherry blossoms of Sahoro are likely to be in full bloom during GW. If you haven't seen cherry blossom viewing yet or are wondering where to go, we're waiting for you at Bear Mountain!!! Breeding: Miyatake (Photo: Dosanko-kun)
