Rest, Eat, Repeat

Comments are off

The main activities of the three ABR bear cubs are listed above – they rest, they get up to eat and then they do it again.  If you recall how they were always resting or napping on the branches of a tree a few weeks ago, it’s interesting to see that they now don’t bother climbing up a tree.  Instead, they rest in a daybed on the ground.  Some adult male bears actually spend their winter sleep in a daybed or in several, as they may change locations during the winter.  The cubs, however, will no doubt choose dens and stay put this year.  They won’t be into the den-changing mode until they are older.  Here are some photos of them resting and then eating, as soon as the food appeared.

Apollo

Not much of Apollo shows as he rests in the grass nearby.

Rollo

Rollo is mostly hidden by the trees.

Three cubs

The three cubs came out to vacuum up the acorns.

It took very little time for them to eat all the acorns.  Then they went back to their other activity – resting.  The curators state that they have really slowed down, but as we can see, they are still eating.
