Today we have photos and updates on all ten of the ABR bears. We’ll start in the Cub Nursery, with our newest residents, Bentley and Dandelion.

When they hear a curator approach, they climb the walls of their pen. Good bear behavior!
When the curator leaves, they come down. Dandelion beats her brother to breakfast.
Side by side they eat their breakfast. They are eating well.

In the Acclimation Pen for Wild Enclosure #4, the five cubs start the day busy, as usual.

The cubs start to demonstrate their usual hyperactive selves.
The box frame makes a good wrestling ring. Bear pellets are better when stomped on.
Blackbeary prefers to swing.
He’s gaining altitude! Really an accomplished swinger!

The last group of ABR bears is the yearlings out in Wild Enclosure #3. All of them were seen today.

Daffodil and Sweetie Bear wake up on the platform.
They got down and Iris took their place.
Iris Bear snoozes on the platform. Doesn’t she look relaxed?
Iris keeps snoozing.
She wakes up, yawns and stretches…
. . . and then she goes back to sleep. It’s a lazy day for her.

It’s not every day that we can show you images of all the bears, so this is a special day. Hope you enjoyed seeing all of them today.
