Here is a short video of the two little female cubs in Wild Enclosure #3. You’ll remember that Twinkle was released into the enclosure first, with Tinsel entering a few days later. The Big Question was “Will they become friends?” and at first it seemed like the answer would be a definite no! But as the days passed (maybe helped by a Christmas Fairy) they have very gradually moved closer to each other. Yesterday, December 27th, was when this video shows the closest proximity yet. So perhaps the final answer will be “yes!” and since they will be with us for a few more weeks, that would be a good resolution for them and for us!

Stay tuned for the rest of the story, as it unfolds during the next few days/weeks. The cubs are using their “cubsense” as taught by their mothers, to be very cautious of new situations and other bears. Good bears!
