In Western Japan, it's a hot day every day❗ It's not only hard for people, but the animals at the zoo must be exhausted as well. The bears are also feeling exhausted from the heat❗ But compared to western Japan, it's probably just because of the heat (lol) The bear in the photo is Moco❗ It was too hot to sleep even if he wanted to take a nap, so he was sleeping using a tree floating in the water as a pillow❗ In the third photo, there's something indescribably cute about his back view, can you tell? (lol)

The correct answer is, ``What's in the pond?'' (lol) If you look for it from the promenade, it's lurking behind the plants, so look for it carefully and take a look❗ By the way, what you can see through the bamboo grass is a Koji.

The weather has been bad and the temperature has been low for the past few days, but it's finally starting to feel like summer. For bears, it's easier when the temperature is lower. Now, in this one photo, there's a bear somewhere~❗ Can you all spot it?

The cherry blossoms in the park have fallen, and the weather is gradually getting hotter these days❗ More and more bears can't stand the heat and are cooling off at water holes. The bear in the photo is the oldest bear in the park. Maybe it's because he's getting older, but he gets tired quickly, but he has a charming face (lol) It's getting hotter and hotter from now on! There are many water holes in the park, and you can see them having fun bathing and wrestling.

Cherry blossoms and Hirotake The cherry blossoms in the garden of Bear Mountain are now in full bloom! Hirotake was cherry blossom viewing! Hirotake is often near this cherry tree, so when you get on the bear-watching bus, look for this cherry tree as a landmark!

New Bear Introduction (2) Hello everyone. This is an introduction to the brown bear "Lela" that has newly arrived at Bear Mountain! Now 7 years old, he will be the Bear, the son of Mitt, who was the youngest on Bear Mountain. The word lera means wind in the Ainu language. When I put it out on the playground, it was running around like the wind! As for this Lela, like Holt, it will be unveiled after meeting other individuals, so please wait for a while.

Introduction of the new bear (1) Thank you for visiting Golden Week! The holidays are almost over and I feel lonely, but here I would like to introduce you to Bear Mountain's new friends. His name is "Holt"! He is now 8 years old and still young compared to the veteran bears around him, but when he goes out on the playground, he rubs his back against a tree that smells of other bears to override the smell. I haven't greeted the other bears yet, and it seems that my debut in the park will be a little later, but (the keepers also need to understand the relationship with the other bears. We will report back when that time comes.

This season will start operations from Saturday, April 28, 2018. This year, we will also hold a night tour called "Brown Bear Forest Night Walk". Please come and see the energetic bears ~ ( ́∀') Exciting All the staff and bears are waiting for your visit.

Ah, I slept well (104 days) It's been a long time everyone. I'm sorry I can't post during the winter. We are pleased to report that all 11 Ezo brown bears of Bear Mountain have successfully completed their winter stay and welcomed spring. (Thank you to everyone who participated in the winter observation tour.) I put bears out on the playground for the first time in a long time, so I took a picture. I haven't eaten anything for more than 100 days, but I don't even burl and I have a healthy figure. (Even so, depending on the individual, there is a weight loss of about 60 kg ~ 100 kg.) They are the parents and children of Kouta and Hirotake. The one that is too black on the left is Kouta. Movements such as rumbling on the snow and smelling trees were observed. Also, on a separate note, two new Ezo brown bears have joined Bear Mountain... I am still getting used to the new environment, so I don't have any photos, but I would like to introduce them later. This season's Bear Mountain Open is scheduled for Sunday, April 28. All the bears and all the staff are looking forward to your visit!

In December, the bears on Bear Mountain begin to enter winter. I started to reduce my feed in late November and entered full fasting in early December. The keeper in the photo has rice straw that can be used as nesting material for bears. Observe the inside of the animal house every day and carefully check the condition of the straw, and if it is a little insufficient, put it in through the ventilation opening as shown in the photo. Right now, nearly half of the bears are moving more slowly and are sleeping more and more, but Santa, Hinata, and Hirotake are still awake every time the keepers go to observe them because they don't go back and forth (laughs).
