Black bear cubs, especially the fourteen five-month-old cubs at ABR, are always busy. With the recent hot weather a lot of their business is centered on or near the Cubby Pools.

Jellybean (Enclosure #1) wanted to get rid of the Safety Log, like many cubs before him.

He didn’t seem to be able to remove it.

So he solved the problem by sitting on it and causing it to sink!

Problem solved! He trotted away.

Sundae received branches of cherries. If you recall, she was found in a cherry tree.

Wild cherries are a favorite food. In case you’re wondering, they do not eat the pits, but spit them out and eat the fruit.

The gate between rooms was lowered during the night, keeping the cubs in their own room.

Sundae slept by the gate. She seems to want to befriend her triplet neighbors.

The gate was opened. Sundae cautiously entered the room. The Triple Play cubs have each other, so they aren’t as anxious to make friends.

Jackie P and Tots spend most of their time outside.

Even though Jackie P is smaller, it doesn’t keep him from wrestling with Tots.

SuBearu and Puff share breakfast.

Curator Jamie cleans and decorates the Acclimation Pen.

Puff and Subearu start to explore the newly decorated pen.

They find hidden snacks to enjoy.

Shadow and Peeps use their Safety Log, leaving it in place.

Shadow swims alone.

He makes a Jacuzzi for himself!

Then he runs off into the woods.
