Tree Climbing and Foraging

Comments are off

Sugar Bear, Sweet Pea Bear, Bucky Bear and Cee Cee Bear are behaving just as bear cubs should now that they have been in the Wild Enclosure for a week.  Watching them is like watching any bear cubs in the wild.  They are learning new skills and developing their muscles every day.  We have some more great photos, captured by our curator with a telephoto lens on the camera.
