Curator Coy set up a trail cam the other day, to see if he could observe the cubs during an evening through to the next morning. The camera captured some great images, and gives us an idea of what Sweet Pea Bear and Sugar Bear do when no one is looking. In some of the photos it is a little hard to see the cubs, due to the walls of the Acclimation pen, but it’s very interesting to see the cubs at night, as well as dusk and dawn.
