I tried to catch rainbow trout.

Koji, who has been in the GW event since the first year of the Bear Mountain OPEN, senses a different atmosphere and makes a gesture to drive Moko out of the pond. And the event started. However, the water in the fast-flowing pond is clogged with snowmelt, and you will not be able to find rainbow trout in the water. It's small and moves quickly, so I couldn't catch it... Finally stood up and begged. Customers have a photo opportunity! Is Moko a trick? Have it thrown directly in your mouth and move to a safe place so that Koji in the back will not take it. I take good care of the small rainbow trout. There is a lot of water from the pond, and once I lost sight of the rainbow trout, I was wondering what to do and where. I'm relieved to find it. Turn your face to the customer and crack the rainbow trout. It takes about 2 bites to finish the meal. Oh, it was delicious. I'll do it tomorrow and tomorrow, so come and see it! by Moko

Bear Mountain OPEN☆

In the refreshing weather, we opened safely. And the first customer in 2012 took a commemorative photo with a group of five good friends from Tomakomai ☆ Bear Cookie. Everyone takes pictures of bears with digital cameras and mobile phone cameras. But the weather is so good that the light is reflected on the glass surface, and it seems that it is difficult to take it well. Here's one point. If you stick the camera lens to the glass, you can shoot with less light reflection or reflection. However, the disadvantage (^_^;) is that if you stick it tightly, you can't take a picture unless the bear comes to the front. If you wait patiently for a photo opportunity, you may be able to get the best shot, so please try it. By the way, after this, we will upload the special guest "Tourism Mission Shintoku Ranger has come", so please ♪ look forward to it.

【Pre-opening】Invitation of new first-year students to elementary schools in the town

With a pleasant blue sky, we invited new first-year students attending an elementary school in Shintoku Town. Shintoku Town, which is rich in nature, is home to wild brown bears, so we wanted to create time to prevent encounters and accidents, and to create time for people to think about nature conservation and coexistence with wild animals, with the cooperation of the Board of Education and each school. First, board the bear-watching bus and head to the brown bear forest. On the bus, we talk about the ecology of brown bears, but everyone is knowledgeable. They also teach us what they learn at home and at school. Still, when I saw a brown bear in front of me, I thought, "It's huge!!" "Big hands!!" There are voices such as. The bus rocks you to Bear Point. Get off the bus and meet the brown bears through the glass. Teachers are also desperate to take commemorative photos with digital cameras. Study quizzes in the brown bear exhibition room in Bear Point. Now, is this foot type the right foot? Is it the left foot? A replica of the collar worn by brown bears. Compared to children, it's the size of a hula hoop. "Brown bears' necks are thick, aren't they?" took a commemorative photo in front of the signboard. It has only been a short time since I entered the school, but everyone listened to what the teacher said and studied hard. I hope you can talk about what you learned today when you go home. Well, Bear Mountain will open tomorrow. The first 77 people will have bear cookies, so we look forward to seeing you there.

Oh-a-zu-ke

Bears who have woken up from the winter and want to go out soon. However, there is a lot of snow this year, and the snow removal work is not progressing, so I can not go outside yet. It's nearly 2 meters long, so it's hard if you climb over the fence and escape. Sunbathing is a treat. If things continue like this, we plan to get them out on April 1. Shhh! The weather is forecast to be rough again over the weekend. If there is a lot of snow, the day when you can go out again may be extended. I hope it doesn't become April Fool's Day. Do you want to go outside? Do you want a snack? Santa is fine even after the winter holidays!

Feeding finally starts!!

Today, on the 82nd day of fasting, the feeding began. The bears in question are Moko, Hinata, Santa and Canta. I had been awake for a few days now, so I had to start feeding from these four animals first. Most of the other bears are starting to wake up, but some of them are still sleeping soundly. Initially, the bears start with a small amount of the sweet bait they love, and gradually increase the amount and get used to it. It is a really small amount for hungry bears, but since there was no object in the stomach for 81 days, I will give it little by little without hurrying. Santa jumps on the bait as soon as he enters the room! For the first time in a long time, he seemed to be in good spirits. Canter looked unsatisfied. I was defiantly wearing straw on my face (laughs) [Breeding: Shigematsu]

Spring is already there!

At last, the bears can see the movement toward spring! The past month has been in a stable winter state, and the keepers have been chased by snow removal every day, but the movement of the bear gradually becomes active, and it may continue forever? I feel that the end is finally approaching even in the winter that seemed to be. After the March keijo, the bear begins to happen strangely every year, but I thought whether it would continue on cold days this year, but it seems that it is starting to happen without exception, and it seems that the first ride of this year is probably "Moko". When I was removing snow on the roof of the beast house today, I was vigorously opening the lid of the ventilation opening. Until now, there were bears that opened the lid, but it's been a long time since I opened it so vigorously, and I realize that I'm awake. The sub paddock in the beast house also removes snow along the electric fence so that the awakened bears can be free-ranged. This is quite hard work. By the way, the park also removes snow all around! Sara Moko mats by the beast house. [Breeding: Shigematsu]
