As you know, each month on the 22nd we celebrate another milestone in the lives of our cubs. This month, the cubs are eight months old, and our recently released yearling, Spruce Bear, is 20 months old! In this post we will share half of the birthday images, with the rest coming at you tomorrow. You can see that the little bears are growing, and as hyperphagia continues, we’ll see them grow some more!
