Inside a Den – 2

Comments are off

Our last post was a link to a video taken inside a black bear’s den in 2013 by the North American Bear Center’s Bear Study Group. As we said, the only way we can imagine what a mother bear is going through at this time of year is to actually see the activity in the confined space of the den. Today’s segment took place just ten days after that first peek and we can see that the cubs are becoming more rambunctious. This is the scene that is replicated throughout the country (including in TN) wherever there are female bears who have given birth. The cubs are now about two months old and are ready to go!
