Notice: Hinata has passed away.

Notice: A 25-year-old male Ezo brown bear, Hinata, has passed away. They have been released since the opening on April 25th, and although they were less active than usual due to their advanced age, they remained calm. On May 10th, I had been sleeping and resting for a long time since the morning, so my appetite had decreased a little, so I stopped exhibiting from the 11th and let myself rest. From the 11th to the 13th, he didn't have much of an appetite, and although he was able to move around on his own, he moved slowly from beginning to end. Since the morning of the 14th, the patient had been lying down, not moving, and unresponsive to stimulation, and although he stood up once, he immediately fell back down, and around 3:10 pm, it was confirmed that he had stopped breathing. As a result of the autopsy, the cause of death was presumed to be a large amount of ascites due to a hole in the bladder, difficulty in breathing due to ascites compressing the diaphragm and lungs, and heart failure due to reabsorption of a large amount of toxins and potassium from ascites (urine). (As of June 3rd) (This is a guess and may change in the future) Since coming to Bear Mountain, the bears have gotten along well with the Santa twins and have always been together, and although they can be aggressive, the three bears, including the late Kouji, are actively moving around.At Bear Point, the bears showed a calm demeanor and played with Santa in front of everyone. For the past few years, we have not been able to release him and see him for a long time due to compatibility issues, but everyone has always cared for us. Thank you for supporting and loving Hinata, who has worked hard at Bear Mountain for a long time. We would like to express our deepest gratitude to all the staff. As of June 3, 2026, there are currently 10 individuals being bred at our facility.
