The bears began to wake up from their winter sleep in early March. Since yesterday, I have been out for the first time in a long time to release them in the sub-paddock. Today's weather is sunny, with a temperature of 1°C (as of 8 o'clock) and sunshine pouring down. All the staff are designed for cold regions, so it feels warm at plus temperature. Today's release is 5 of these horses! First of all, Bear Mountain's handsome "Kumaemon". Recently, Kumamon is in a slump due to its popularity (?). ), caught a woman's heart at the first tejepero of the year ×2☆ Next is a seal! It is not. "Yawara" A healing bear that rubs its body on the snow and rumbles, or sits in the sun without a backrest. This kind of old man is sometimes on the side of the road (laughs) "Canta" is the largest body in Bear Mountain. It looks like your body is bathed in the sunlight. Even so, it seems to be dazzling... "Koji" with big brother skin. This is also sunbathing. Koji and his twin "Kouta". Peel off the wood skin, chew it, and make a mess. I'm taking a break to see if I'm satisfied. Director Sasaki says, "The weather is good today, so the bears are calm." As he said, the time is so relaxed that it is hard to believe that he is on the cold snow. With less than a month to go until the opening, the staff is preparing at a rapid pace.

Shintoku Town has a seismic intensity of less than 5. Sahoro, which is a bedrock, does not shake much even if there is an earthquake, but last night's earthquake did. After the earthquake, the director went to inspect the animal barn where he had been sleeping for the winter, and the bears were sleeping soundly as usual. By the way, the other day, Hokkaido's popular TV program "Dosanko Wide" came to interview us. "What!?　I'm playing Bear Mountain???" I'm sure there are many people who thought that. At this time of year, the bears are in the middle of winter, so you can't see them, but in the summer, there are snowshoe tours in the park that you can never enter. There was a TV interview about it. It is scheduled to be broadcast on Thursday, February 7th, so if you live in Hokkaido, please take a look! When I went to Bear Point for the first time in a while, ↓ ↓ ↓ It looks like this. Partly because of the snowdrift, but it has piled up to nearly 2 meters. Even with such a large amount of snow, snowshoes that can be walked without being buried are excellent. Sahoro Resort is crowded with ski and snowboard customers, but we also secretly offer snowshoe tours in the park, so please come and visit us.

The seventh winter retreat of the season has begun. Bears, which have experienced it many times, will go into hibernation mode relatively quickly if you set a fasting period and throw in straw. An individual named "Mitt", who newly joined the group around last summer, is a cause for concern for the breeding staff. It is a curious bear that is only 4 years old, shows interest in various things, and has not yet become an adult, so if it senses the presence of a person, it will wake up in a small way, so when observing, I am careful not to make noise as much as possible and talk in a quiet voice. The photo on the left is Shingo, a veteran of winter. He is the oldest of Bear Mountain and has a hateful facial expression (laughs). Breeding Staff

There is only one week left until the opening of the ski resort. Sara and Moko enjoy a walk at the dog park today. In the morning, I could see the sun, and Sarah was excited! I'm rubbing my body against the snow and I'm having a good time. Sarah is a big boy, but she's very shy. In particular, Sarah is not very good at the sound of gashan gashan footsteps in ski boots, and hides in the hut. Moko is good at spoiling. The ski resort is scheduled to open on Saturday, December 1 ☆ The bears are still awake.

Today is the last day of October. It's been about 10 days since Bear Mountain closed, and the bears are in the middle of their fall health checkups! I also weigh myself, so the answers to the quiz are coming out one after another. The announcement of the weight guessing quiz will be on December 1st, so please wait for a while. If it is closed, the brown bears will only be able to meet the breeding staff. Therefore, I would like to pull out the image and introduce it. This time, Canta. With a temperature of 10 degrees Celsius, it was a cold day for us, but a pleasant climate for the bears. Canta is bubbling with his stomach in a puddle of streams. It looks like you're practicing your breath in the pool. There is also such a cute side.

昨日、ニジマスで予行練習ばっちりのヒロタケ。 朝から池を陣取り、今か今かと秋鮭の放流を待っています。 早速、食いついています。 ずいぶんとリラックスした姿で食いつきますね、ヒロタケくん。 足の裏丸見えですよ。 先週の3連休からすでに10匹くらいは食べているのではないでしょうか？ なんだかまーるくなってきて、すぐにでも冬ごもりに入れそうな勢いです。 まーるくなると、かわいく見えます。 舌なんかもペロッと出してみたりして。。。 […]
