We thought you might like to see some great photos that the curator took when the cubs happened to be awake. You have seen a lot of images of sleeping, snoozing, napping cubs, so here, for a change, are wide-awake cubs. And to add to the novelty, they were in a tree with leaves for a change.  As we told you, they seem to especially like the leafless tree, but on this day they moved to a tree with leaves.  Bear cubs have no difficulty in climbing up any tree, leafless, with leaves, or with needles.

Coy noticed that the cubs were in a different tree, with leaves.

He noticed that Sugar Bear was awake.

With the zoom lens, he got closer to Sugar Bear.

Sweet Pea expresses herself by sticking out her tongue.

Bucky seems to be hiding.

Sweet Pea sniffs the wind. Wonder what she smells?
