What Shall We Do Today? - Appalachian Bear Rescue

Every day the bear cubs in Wild Enclosures at ABR must decide how to spend their time. They don’t realize it, of course, but as they decide what to do, they are also learning new things and preparing themselves for their eventual release and lives in the wild. India Bear, in Wild Enclosure #1 tried several different positions on the resting platform. She finally decided that she prefers the belly up pose.

In Enclosure #3, Cosmo settles himself in a tire.

Barley tries another way to fit into the tire.

Hops isn’t sure if he will still fit into the tire. The cubs are chubbifying and it’s getting harder for them to fit these days.

All Bourbon needs is a snorkel to scope out what is on the bottom of the pool.

Another cub comes to help. We think they are looking for peanuts or other snacks in the depths.

The cubs stay busy with these various activities. It’s obvious that they are growing! What will they think of next? Watch this space.
