The “Six-Pack”of cubs in Wild Enclosure #4 decided to enter the Acclimation Pen after the potential for storming was over.  The curators had opened the gate when the hurricane remnants threatened, in case the bears wanted to go inside.  None of them did that, then.  Now, with the gate still open, they decided to return to their old pen.  Since bears have excellent memories, especially when it comes to food, their recollections were revived.

The six cubs were attracted to the open gate.

While still outside, they peered through the fence.

Willow Bear led the way. The rest of the cubs followed her.

They explored their former residence.

They remembered that food used to be in the food wheel.

Finding no food this time, they left the pen.

By then it was time for a nap.

It was interesting to watch the cubs as they visited their previous “home” and to observe them looking where they remembered food had been.  Finding none, they didn’t stay around much longer.  After the adventure of exploring, they were tired and needed a nap.
