お知らせ コウジが死亡しました。

お知らせ 2025年6月1日にエゾヒグマ・オスのコウジ(33歳)が死亡しました。 4月4日より動作緩慢及び起立困難・食欲不振により今季は展示せず治療・休養していました。 投薬を行い徐々に自立歩行が可能になり、麻酔検査時には腹部の腫瘤切除と左肩に褥瘡がありましたが5月中旬にはほぼ完治していました。 5月1日朝に多量の鼻出血を起こしその後2回少量の鼻出血を起こしましたが5月13日以降出血はなく経過観察していました。 また5月中旬よりおそらく発情による食欲減退がみられたので、できるだけ食べるものを給餌し体重減少を防いでいました。 左前肢のナックリングや食欲にムラがあるものの、体調は落ち着いており前日まで起立移動はスムーズに行っておりました。 5月31日夕方震度3の地震が発生し、獣舎点検の際には伏臥で休んでいるのを確認していましたが、 6月1日朝に死亡しているのが確認されました。 解剖の結果、死因は心筋梗塞と考えられます。また心臓の拡張により肝臓のうっ血肥大や腹水・胸水の貯留も認められました。 2006年4月にベアマウンテンに双子のコウタと共に来園してから約19年間、ベアマウンテンの裏番長(?)として強くまっすぐに過ごし、 頑固で中々癖がある子でしたが、愛するヒロタケと共に仲睦まじい様子を見せてくれたり、嫌いなクマには苛烈な姿を見せてくれたり様々な魅力があるクマでした。 4月に休養のお知らせの際たくさんの応援メッセージや果物の差し入れなど、コウジの事を気にかけ応援していただき本当にありがとうございます。 コウジを愛してくださった皆様にはスタッフ一同心より感謝申し上げます。 現在ベアマウンテンで飼育しているエゾヒグマは9頭になります。 ありがとう、コウジ。

Notice: About Koji's exhibition

Notice about Koji Koji (33 years old), a male brown bear, has been sluggish and has decreased his appetite since around April, and has been temporarily unable to stand up. Currently, Koji has moved to the treatment room and is receiving intensive medication and care in consultation with the veterinarian. In addition, when an anesthesia examination was performed on April 18, a mass was found on the side of the left abdomen and a pressure ulcer on the left shoulder. The mass was immediately removed, and after changing the medication, she slowly recovered to the point where she was able to stand up and walk, and her appetite returned. However, at the age of 33, he is not able to move perfectly when walking, and when he is not feeling well, he is increasingly spending time lying down, and in order to continue intensive treatment and recuperation, we will end the exhibition in the park in April 2025 and take a break. In the future, we will post information about Koji on SNS. In addition, Kouta (33 years old) and Hirotake (26 years old) are also elderly and have trouble walking, so we plan to release them and recuperate them in the future while watching the intentions and conditions of the bears, so we ask for your understanding.

Notice Canta has died

Announcement On March 21, 2025, a male brown bear, Canta, died. I celebrated my birthday last month and turned 33 years old. After the winter, he was eating a lot of food to gain strength, and he had finished his food on the morning of the 21st. When I went to the animal house to check in the afternoon, it seemed that he had already passed away. As a result of the autopsy, the cause of death appears to be acute heart failure. For about 18 years since I came to Bear Mountain in 2006, I have fascinated many people and taught me a lot of things with a large body and a round and charming face and expression that have a strong presence anywhere in the large park. He was always serious about bathing, he was stubborn, he often made the new staff cry and put pressure on the bears he didn't like, but he was a child who listened to the keepers well. Last year, the exhibition was suspended due to the inability to stand up from the summer, and I lived in a veterinary house and took care of it. He destroyed the mat he had laid to prevent pressure ulcers in a few minutes, complained that he was not getting enough food, and spent the winter sleep like a canter until the end of his life. We would like to express our sincere gratitude to everyone who cared about and loved Canta, who has worked hard at Bear Mountain for many years. Currently, there are 10 bears raised at Bear Mountain. Congratulations Canta. P.S. (April 25, 2025) Thank you all for your kind words to Canta. Regarding flower donations, we will set up a flower donation stand in Bear Point. We hope you will come and meet Canta.
