The two female yearlings seem to have bonded and enjoy each other’s company. They are together much of the time.
Bears eat quantities of greens, including leaves and grasses, in spring. Not much else is available in the wild until the berries arrive in another month or two. Even though our yearlings have access to food provided by the curators, their instinct to eat greens compels them to gather the natural foods. The curators often provide lettuce in spring, and it is a welcome addition to their regular meals.
