Happy Halloween! The leaves at the facility have turned into a fall show, and the bear cubs are showing off their increasing chonkiness.
Fall colors and cubs in the trees at ABR.
Rags and Scruffy are finished with their meds! They ate some grapes dipped in honey.
After eating all of their preferred foods (nuts) they ate some chopped apple. But it still counts – good for you, cubs!
Velma shows off her chonky self.
Bubbles is another chonky gal.
Daisy Mae passes the Floating Pear test with ease.
Fuzzy is nice and plump.
Enclosure #4 has a herd of furry baby bison!
Peeps is nice and round.
Puff was the winner in the recent “Cubby Chonk Down.” But we’re not sure that she is actually the chonkiest of all!
How about Jellybean? He was named Mr. Congeniality, but is he actually the chonkiest cub? We won’t know until they are weighed for release.
Curator Jamie lost his scoop in the same way that Greg lost his recently. It is out there somewhere in Enclosure #1.
Happy Halloween! ABR had a table at the Ripley’s Aquarium of the Smokies in Gatlinburg. We presented ideas for discouraging bears from visiting your property.
