The six cubs in Wild Enclosure #2 can choose where they want to sleep. They have the entire enclosure, including the trees at their disposal. On a recent night, though, they all slept on the platform, in a cubby line.
There they are, like a big cubby slumber party. Your guess is as good as ours who’s who, except for Sunflower Bear, who is recognized by her missing ear.They shift positions (like we do) and just after 5 in the morning, one cub decides s/he has had enough.Instead of a clearly defined line of 5 cubs, we seem to have a large number of cubby parts.The cubs start to rouse, including the one whose feet are dangling from the hammock.It’s time to get started. They go down to begin their day.We take a quick peek at Wild Enclosure #4, where Mulberry (yearling) is resting in the same spot where Sparks (yearling) was always seen.
The residents of Enclosure #1 (Ferdinand, Tweetsie, and Dumplin’) have been hidden recently, choosing to spend their time in the underbrush or high in trees, out of the reach of cameras. We’ll have more news of other bears soon.
