Today is the end of November, but the young bears are still moving around! When I was on the roof of the animal house, I could hear the fugafuga, so when I went to see it, Hirotake was (^^) appealing hard from the ventilation opening. 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　

Long time no see, everyone!! One month has passed since Bear Mountain closed. What were the bears doing during that time? In preparation for winter, we measured weight and fat thickness (thickness of subcutaneous fat). Brown bears eat a lot in the fall in preparation for winter, and have to accumulate fat in their bodies to survive the winter. Therefore, it is very important to look at the fat thickness in order to measure how much fat you have stored. Bear Mountain bears have judged that an average thickness of 4 to 3 cm is enough to survive the winter. If the fat thickness does not reach the average thickness at that time, they will be given nutritious food to store fat by late November, when preparations begin in earnest. By the way, the joiner in this photo boasted an amazing thickness of 7 cm. You're quite chubby (laughs) And as you may have noticed from the photo, there was snow on Bear Mountain, albeit still thin! As expected, brown bears are resistant to cold! Even if the snow is piled up, it looks humble. Would you rather enjoy seeing snow for the first time in a long time? 【Breeding: Nagata】

On the last day of October, Sara and Moko had an all-you-can-play day at the dog park. (Upper left) Sarah: Aura, playing with a shy person (upper right) Moko: My eyes and mouth are ajar and I have a strange face (Lower left) My face is coming out of the fence - After playing for a while, we returned to the hut by ourselves. The two stand up to get a snack from the small window. Don't ♪ you look like you're coming to buy a lift ticket? Sara Moko is visiting you in winter ☆

今年度の営業が終了して、はや１週間が経ったベア・マウンテン。 昨日（10/29）に道東道夕張IC?占冠IC開通したからか、「ベア・マウンテンやってますか？」 というお問合せ電話が数件入っております。 休園中のヒグマたちは、続々と健康診断を受けております。 10月に開催された「ヒグマ体重当てクイズ」も、そろそろ解答がではじめていますので クイズに参加していただいた皆様、もう少しお待ちくださいませ。 はたしてピタリ賞はでるのでしょうか？？？ さて10月あたまに撮影した写真ですが、癒され画像（？）をご紹介します。 足の裏まる出しでうつ伏せに寝る姿、 よく目撃します。 絶対に×100無理ですが この足の裏、さわってみたい！！！！ 裸足で歩いているので（当たり前ですが） 触り心地はきっと固いと想像しますが、 見た目はムチムチ。 人間のように足裏マッサージしたら気持ちが良いものなのか？ 気持ちが良いと、犬と同じように”ゴロン”と仰向けになって お腹を出すのか？ ヒグマ妄想で1人ニヤニヤしているあやしいスタッフでした。 ちょっとマニアックなネタで失礼しました<(_ _)>

Today, the 23rd, the business of this season has ended. Although the weather was terrible, the bears still looked healthy. Hirotake peeking out of the cave. Kouta (left) and Joiner (right) greeting. Koji eating melon. Actually, this melon is a delicious melon from Furano! It looks delicious... (^q^*) It will be the last time we see the bears in the park, but from now on, the bears will be anesthetized and checked for health before preparing for winter. At Bear Mountain, like wild bears, all winter stays are held. There are still many things that have not been elucidated about the winter habits of brown bears, and we breeding staff can't wait for them to collect valuable data. I would like to tell you about the situation, so please look forward to it! All the staff are looking forward to seeing you again next year! 【Breeding: Nagata】

Bear Mountain 1 large body canta that looks square in the outline of the face and the silhouette of the body. The canter is spreading the hind legs in front of the point. Why are you spreading it out? I thought, koji's figure is at the end of the canter's eyes. A threatening back figure ... further bending the forelimbs and in a low position ... the war situation just to say "Take it". However, a gentleman koji was not sure to go, and nothing was 30. This fall, when the obsession of food becomes more intense, there are many struggles. There are many injuries, and it is one of the worries of the breeding staff.

The photo is kouta. Take a nap next to the bus road. Even so, "Next moon!? The stomach that makes you want to hear. Bear Mountain's brown bear is a male, so I don't get pregnant. That's it. Everyone is getting all right for winter. We will close this season next Sunday (October 23). If you are coming to Tocachi, please come and see the brown browns.

The yellow leaves have also crossed their peaks, changing from bright to dark. The leaves have fallen again, visibility is good, and it's easier to find browns! When I got on the bus and went to the park, santa moved his forelimbs some time, so I shot a video. It looks like you are collecting kumasasa in a little depression. When I thought, I singed the body in the hollow and rest mode. "Santa, it's still early for winter! The breath is white, and Santa is ready for winter! ?

Sahoro is also in the yellow-leaf season, and the pleasant scenery spreads out. From the road to Bear Mountain, you can see distant mountains covered in white and snow. Then, please enjoy the yellow leaf scene in the park. Top left) From the bear watching bus to the upper right) from the promenade) Bear point The sun shines brightly, and it is a spot recommended for photogirls ☆ Bear Mountain. It's on the glass! The person who sees brown bear with a serious look is "Dayki-kun" 2 years old who came from Sapporo. But after this, I was running around bear point with a smile. Is it because of the excitement of being a bear? Just because it was a large place? I don't know the truth, but I think it felt so good that I wanted to run!

There are a number of birch logs in the bear point. And this log. For some reason, it is very popular with bears! ! Do you smell anything good? Today, we will deliver a melodious koji to such a fascinating log! Kun-kun (・ω・) First of all, check the smell. I'm checking the smell of other bears. It seems to be an important exchange of information. Beg (・ω・) Stress divergence! It was going to be so fast that it seemed (laughs) ★mame knowledge★ The black bear living in Hon state is called Kumahagi, and the behavior of peeling off the skin of cedar trees and eating the inner sweet skin is often seen. Brown bears sometimes look like they scratch like this, but they don't seem to eat like black bears. Soy (ω・) Finally override your own smell! In this way, today's log play was a koji that seemed to have ended. In addition, I was doing the same gesture as the habit of a certain breeding staff of Bear Mountain (laughs) I would be happy if you could remember Koji by all means when I saw the staff of the same gesture (*^∀^*) [Breeding: Nagata]
