Hey everyone, now that we're in July, how are you doing? It's been a long time since we've seen him, so he greets us with a bear-like, "Gwaa!" look on his face (^?^) Today, I'd like to introduce you to our baby food delicacy. Milk is added to the rice that the big bears are eating to make it softer. Let's start with milk. Eat the soft rice with your hands in a cute, girly way. Looks delicious, doesn't it? Maron has a big body and will soon reach 20kg! Chocolate is still 15kg. They are growing big by eating a lot, so I hope all the little ones are not picky and eat a lot and come see us.

As we headed towards Bear Mountain, we spotted a sika deer! Do you know where I am? Oops, I'm about to cross the road (@_@;) They will suddenly jump out onto the road like this, so please slow down and drive safely when you come. <(_ _)> Bonus: Many house swallows were flying low in the parking lot.

Chocolat and Maron from ↑↑↑ are growing into older sister figures with slender arms and legs. Baby food, which is made by soaking pellets in milk, has started. Compared to the photo below, taken on April 28th, she has become a much more beautiful woman♪ The fathers are in mating season and are rough, but we are looking forward to improving their beauty (?)!

This is a message from Moko the dog, not Moko the bear. ``Tickle season has arrived. When you come back from a walk, wash your clothes and take precautions against ticks.'' Moko-chan appeared in the Bear Mountain Newsletter for the first time in a while. The area above my right eye and below my left eye has already been eaten away. The park is closed today. *After this, the park will be open without closing days until the end of September.

Manager Kuma will introduce you to the latest and interesting souvenirs. If you enjoyed the real bear, please take it as a souvenir. First, some easy stickers and T-shirts. This one costs 1,050 yen! ! It's cheap. If you look closely at the Kumazail, you can see that each one has a different face. Popular One Piece Salt cola to prevent heatstroke. We use Soya salt. We have introduced only a few of them here. We are also planning sweets with original packaging for the summer vacation! Please feel free to stop by the store on your way home.

Bear Mountain is also now available on Google Street View. The shooting took place in July last year. The image conveys the image of being blessed with good weather and seeing bears while taking a forest bath under Sahoro's typical blue sky and sparkling green trees. But how is it possible to see 360 ​​degrees as if you were actually there? There must be many people who think so. This photo was taken on a bike at Bear Mountain. I photographed the promenade course with this panoramic camera (?). The winding slope course was also well controlled. I think if you took the bear watching bus course, you would get an impressive street view from the bear's perspective...but that's not possible (^_^;) What kind of place is Bear Mountain? If you are interested, please take a look at Street View and come meet the real bears. View larger map

A bear has 5 claws. As you can see, it's always coming out of my toes. Q.Here's the problem. Is the forelimb in the photo on the right? Is it on the left? These claws are used for fighting, digging holes, and picking insects from trunks. Kota uses chopsticks to pick up snacks, pinch them, and bring them to his mouth. And Koguma-chan has claw-like claws, and is able to skillfully attract things from far away and collect rice straw. Although it is still thinner and smaller than an adult animal, it seems to be hard because it does not break or chip even when rubbed or caught on a fence. Please pay attention to the way he skillfully uses his fine nails. A. Right forelimb. (The little finger side is more developed)

Bear Mountain is in early summer mode as June begins. Bears in black fur are playing in the water to cool off. So, what do Chocolat and Maron do on the day the park is closed? The tomboy girls are running around, playing with each other, playing with their new favorite string, and are doing just as well as usual.

If you go behind the glass, you'll be attacked by a bear! ! (@_@. <p Well, the park is closed today. We will use the day off to do work that we would never normally be able to do, such as inspecting and repairing the park and polishing the glass. The weather is still nice. It's going to be sunny this week, so why not come and see the bears while driving?

Chocolate and marron. During today's nap, he slept soundly in the foreground. My nose is touching the fence and I have a pig nose. Its mouth is open, so if you look closely, you'll see tiny teeth growing out. The canine teeth are fine, but the other teeth are like grains (if you just look at them), they're cute (^?^) I don't feel like looking at them every day, but Chocolat and Maron are getting bigger day by day. I tried comparing their backs. Left: Chocolat Right: Maron Since birth, Maron has a larger physique. It still weighs about 1.5kg. Even if you look at the photo, it looks a little bigger. I will upload a photo from a month ago (4/26) to compare how big it has become. He had just been separated from his mother bear and was still a toddler. It's small enough to be used as a stepping stone. It's growing nicely.
