It finally opens tomorrow!

The opening is finally approaching tomorrow. Last night's rain went up, and today the bears were playing in the water and twisting in the shade of trees. Mizubasho is along the stream in the park! The keeper's homemade biotope in barepoint is happily made by ezo red frogs. Frogs were also very popular among the new first-year students in Shintokachi, who came today. Please come and see the natural and powerful bears of Hokkaido. We are waiting for all the staff! (Above: Clinton in the water at BarePoint. Bottom: Mizubasho) [Breeding staff: Ito]

Speaking of noboribetsu, bear farm

Sachio spent his first year in Sahoro in 2006, when Bear Mountain opened. It has the history of being protected in the wild at the time of the child bear. I don't know if that's why, but I often acted alone in Bear Mountain. However, the pins and standing ears and large face were brown bears loved by the staff because they could be judged as "sachio". Last year, he returned to The Noboribetsu Bear Ranch and succeeded in pairing. And this spring, he became a father. I received a photo from the banner, so I will upload it. Unfortunately, you can't see it in Bear Mountain, but if you go up to the climb, you can see the sachio and children. You will be surprised that you are born so small that you can grow so big. Bea Mountain is full of power! See plenty of brown bears in O To Na. The baby bear is released on April 26, the same as Bear Mountain. There are no people who ladder the banner with Sahoro, right? ← Sachio innocently playing in the pond to his father.  2006 Photographed at Bear Mountain Twin babies ↓ Small but sharp claws ↓

はじめましてサンタです!

今年からベアマウンテンに仲間入りしたサンタ。 7才で若く、まだ他の個体より小柄です。特徴的なのは首元にあるおおきな白斑(白いもよう)。 サンタは野生生まれでこぐまの頃に保護された個体です。短い期間ですが野生で生活した経験があるのでベアマウンテンの園内に自生している野草を食べてくれるのではないかと期待しています。 本日サブパドックに出したところ木や壁のニオイをかいでさかんに背こすり!元気いっぱいです。 試しに採ってきたフキノトウを与えてみたのですが、芽吹いてだいぶ成長していたものしかなかったので苦かったのでしょうか?少しかじって吐き出してしまいました。これから夏にかけて、はやく美味しい野草がはえてくるといいですね。 【飼育スタッフ:伊藤】

親子シカがお出迎え

今朝、国道38号線・狩勝峠からサホロリゾート敷地内に入ってすぐのところに親子のエゾシカが立っていました。出勤途中だったので携帯カメラで激写!! 早朝や夜になるとサホロに棲む野生動物がホテルやベア・マウンテンに繋がる道路を横断します。運が良ければ出遭えるかもしれません。 なんか車が停まったぞ 逃げ出してしまった。ゴメンナサイ。 子ジカは足を踏ん張って必死な姿に・・・ 安全なところで振り向き確認。 白いお尻がかわいいですね♪ ところでみなさんはシカのシッポ、見たことありますか?                                                            企画/T

The thaw is early this year.

例年、5月上旬まで園内には雪が残り白い大地に黒い物体が動いているので見つけやすい!というのがこの時期ならではの楽しみ方でもあります。しかし、今年は残雪ゼロ。雪は解けてしまいました。 本物はご覧いただけませんが、雪面に残る大きな足跡とベアポイント前の雪山から尻滑りするジョイナーの写真をお楽しみください。(昨年撮影) 春らしくなってきたサホロですが、お越しの際は温かい服装でお越しください。 企画/T

I digress a bit

The zookeeper was wearing a cute can badge, so I was curious and called out to him, and he said, "It's the 2008 Year of the Frog." Year of the Frog??? This year was supposed to be the Year of the Rat??? It is not brown bears, but apparently frogs and other amphibians are rapidly decreasing. It is said that one-third to one-half of all amphibian species are endangered. That's why it's a badge of the amphibian conservation campaign "2008 The Year of the Frog". When you are in the rich nature of Sahoro, it has become natural that there are frogs, but will it eventually become an old story, "I used to hear a large chorus of frogs ~"? As I told you about in "Signs of Spring" before, there are still a lot of frog eggs in Sahoro right now. In order for the story of frogs to continue for decades and hundreds of years with the signs of spring, I would like to steadily accumulate even small things. Planning/T

Bears are also laid-back

The photo is Hiroki. I played in the mud and my body turned into mud. The sunlight looks very nice. Right now, the bears are getting used to their bodies in a sub-paddock, but the older group seems to like to play in the brood, so they are always resting in their favorite places.

Signs of spring

While working in the park, I saw a puddle on the side of the road... Ezo frog Pukapuka! If you look closely, there was another one in the gap of fallen leaves at the bottom of the puddle! I can't wait for the spring chorus. Bear Mountain has also come to feel the signs of spring in many places. [Breeding staff: Ito]

Which one is bigger?

Today, work was carried out to anesthetize the bear. Inspections and data are collected, which is important for the health management of bears, but veterinarians and zookeepers must work in a well-organized manner so as not to put a burden on the bears. Body measurements (size measurement), blood sampling, body temperature measurement, weight measurement, mouth check, etc. were performed. When anesthetized, it is also a valuable place where you can directly touch the bear, which you cannot normally touch. How much fat has been lost in the fall due to winter sleep, and are there any wounds or diseases on the body? It is necessary to touch and confirm things that cannot be seen just by looking at them at the time of anesthesia. Or one more thing. In order for customers to feel familiar with the bear's abilities and size, we will also work on the exhibits. I took a foot mold, trimmed a little hair, and took a picture of the work scene. This photo shows the size of the bear's paws and the staff's hands, and the foot mold. I've tried various methods of foot molding through trial and error, but this time I used ink juice to remove the foot mold. It may have been the most beautiful I've ever taken! The toes of bears are actually bigger than their little fingers! (In the photo, both humans and bears have their right hands) Even so, the bear's claws are magnificent...! [Breeding staff: Ito]

Preparing for OPEN!

In April, the number of warm days has increased. The bears are waking up from their winter sleep, eating food and slowly recovering their physical condition. In the park of Bear Mountain, a stream of snowmelt water flows slowly, and there are also a few butterbur trees here and there. On the other hand, our staff is busy preparing for the opening. One day when I was working, I found a bear's back rubbing mark on the pillar outside Bear Point! At Bear Mountain, which has a vast site, a tag is attached to the neck to detect the position of the bear by radio waves, but apparently a small wound was made when he stood up and rubbed his back against the pillar. It's much bigger than the height of the male staff, and I'm surprised again by the size of the bear! There are many traces of markings and claw marks on trees and pillars in the park. I hope you will take a closer look and find out! [Breeding staff: Ito]

Homepage has been renewed.

This is the third year of Bear Mountain. In order to further convey the charm of brown bears, we have renewed our website. From how to enjoy Bear Mountain, it is easier to see letters from the staff! Make it easier to understand! We would like to make it a site that cares about Bear Mountain with the motto. Do you see that there are 5 photos lined up under Flash on the top page? This is an arrangement of the last five photos from the Bear Mountain News. Is this an update to the Bear Mountain news? Isn't it? is self-explanatory. In this way, we have clarified the Bear Mountain news, which has been delayed in updating even if we are busy, and we are eager to update it while feeling the pressure of the staff. We would be happy if you could use it for checking before your visit and after your visit. There are only 20 days left until the opening of the season. We look forward to <(_ _)> seeing you as well as the brown bears

Experience the powerful brown bear and Hokkaido! !!

Brown animals are the largest land animals living in Japan and are wild animals that live only in Hokkaido. I would like you to see and experience the brown man who stands at the top of hokkaido's ecosystem as close to the wild as possible in the rich natural environment of Hokkaido. Sahoro Resort (Bear Mountain) was born from such a thought. You can safely see up close how you live in a forest that you would not normally see, completely different from a zoo or a traditional bear farm. It can be said that it is a facility realized only because it is a Sahoro resort where wild brown animals live in the backyard.

Brown bears are endangered

The daisetsuzan and The Nakayama system, including Mt. Sahoro, are also inhabited areas of yezo browns, but the number is decreasing, and individuals in the Western Ishikari Area (Shakotan and Eniwa areas) are listed in the Red Data Book of the Hokkaido version, and populations in the Tenshol and Masuge regions are described as "area populations (LP) that are likely to become extinct". It is also mentioned in the Washington Convention (Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora) and is recognized as an internationally valuable species. Let's think together so that the ezo brown man does not become extinct in the wild.

Three articles that coexist with brown animals (in order not to be attacked)

Don't go into the mountains by yourself Make a sound to let your presence known (such as Bell Whistle Radio) Never take home garbage (a bear that learns the taste of human food will end up being a bad bear approaching a person)

Canter, 22.

He has a cheerful personality that doesn't care about details. In recent years, it seems to be pushed by a little young power, but the presence is outstanding. The top of the head is bald because it turnes up and it rubs back. Features: Solid physique, weight also heavyweight!

Koji, 22.

He is a big brother who arbitrally fights and becomes a wrestling opponent of a young bear. I'll also care about Hirotake, the son of Kouta, the twin brother. There is dignity to take a break in the rock of Ikebuchi in front of bear point, and it will fall in love. Feature: Crisp and tight features compared to twin kouta. have a white pattern (vitiligo) on the shoulder

Hirotake, 15.

He is good at catching fish enough to catch nijimas in the pond in front of BearPoint. Because power has been put on, it is a type that catches a little by surprise from behind, and thrusts the neck into the fight on purpose. BearPoint is my favorite place, but when an unsased Santa enters the pond, he quickly escapes. Son of Kouta. Features: Black hair, vitiligo at the neck. Have round ears and are large
