Our reports on the cubs seem to have a common thread these days – the cubs are eating!  In our last post we stated that hyperphagia is still with us, and the truth of that statement is proven again in these photos of the cubs.  When a curator threw food over the fence, the cubs got to work right away, eating up everything that was offered.

As we said, there isn’t much variety in their activities these days.  It’s all about eating!  But we enjoy seeing them again and again, and hope that you do, too.
