Update on our bear cubs - December 21, 2011
With winter finally here Kody, Karsten, Keeton, Rascal, and Shade have all settled together in a den. Kaymona, Rose, Kira, Sabbath and Jeanette are sharing a den in the other bear enclosure, and occasionally letting Max in as well. Max is usually sleeping in one of the dens in the enclosure by himself.
 Kala was not quite ready to hibernate yet so she was moved into bear pen 3 with Simon and Apples. Simon is determined to make friends with Kala, though Kala is a little reluctant to make friends with anyone. Apples prefers just to observe from the safety of his den. Even though Simon, Kala, and Apples are not hibernating yet, they still spend most of the day in their dens being lazy. In fact their days usually consist of eating, sleeping, and short romps around the enclosure.
Charlie is now in with Corky. The reunion between the two (possible) brothers wasn’t what we were hoping for as the two just seemed to ignore each other. After a few days however the boys are nestled together in their den. Like Simon, Apples, and Kala – Charlie and Corky spend their days eating, sleeping, and occasionally playing. Most days it’s to cold for them to venture out of their den.
All the staff, interns, bears, raccoons, and other critters wish everyone a Merry Christmas!
 If after Christmas you are looking for a place to bring your Christmas tree, the animals would love to have them. We hang Christmas trees in the Raccoon cages for the raccoons to play one, and the bears love to use them to block of their dens and keep the chill out all winter long.
