Daily Bear Updates
Current weather: 76F (24C) Partly Cloudy Hey Everyone!! Curators Coy and Tori here for the FB Live Kids Edition: A Bear's Nose Knows Best Hello All! In preparation for tomorrow's Facebook Live for Kids' we have a few items you will need to get together prior to participate in a "smell test" activity. Please do NOT go out and buy these items. You may substitute similar ones as a replacement if you don't have these exact household items. Current weather: 72F (22C) Sunny ABR Video-April 6, 2020
Jessamine and Beignet are having a good time in their wild enclosure, zooming after each other, up and down trees. The recently exiled Boudreaux is the total boss of his enclosure. We think he’s pursuing a Doctorate in Lallygagging (he already has his Masters of Shenanigans). By the time he’s released, he will be accomplished in… many things.
We’re devoting this photo album to Balthazar Bear. He slept through most of yesterday, but sprang to life last night, exploring his enclosure, wrestling with a threatening swingy ball, and defending himself against a “Bark Creature”. He’s back to normal, able to amuse himself (and us) with anything he finds.Thank you for helping him become the big little bear he was meant to be. ❤️👑🐻

All are calm, all is bright. No, it’s not Christmas, but after the weekend’s Boudreaux relocation drama, it’s a perfect description of our yearlings and the weather.
Beignet and Jessamine are not missing Boudreaux. In fact, they’re partying like it’s 1999. That’s our interpretation of their joyful play after being relieved of the company of a precocious, 120-pound, chonky male. It reminds us of Sweetie and Daffodil who were much happier after the departure of the amorous Hartley. Here’s something noteworthy: bears in captivity pace when stressed. Beignet isn’t pacing. Neither is Boudreaux. It seems their cubbyhood is over and their need for each other’s company has ended. It’s a natural development for black bear yearlings who will spend most of their lives alone.
Boudreaux is making the most of his situation, and we fear what projects he will initiate. There’s a sleeved sapling that’s caught his attention.
And Balthazar is back to his routine, sleeping on his platform or on his daybed. He’s happy, so we’re happy. Today is good and we hope tomorrow is too. 🤞❤️🐻🐻🐻🐻
