The bear’s inside den area - Leo fluffing and prepping his sleep spot.

Leo is a very old man now. He will be 31 years old next month. He tries to go for a walk every day.

Leo loves to take a long walk or a swim every night before dinner. (Read description)

When your bestie challenges you to a slide-tackle on the ice… Bear style!

Six little squirrels, all sleeping in one hammock. :)

The bears have begun the Great Winter Slow Down!

People are always amazed to watch how delicately the bears shell the peanuts and eat the inside.

Leo, our oldest bear right now (he is almost 31!) still loves to act like a kid when in his pond.

Kimmy (black syrian mix) is trying to squeeze in some last minute pound time before it’s too cold.

What a story - read description about this squirrel rescue!

Weather has been nice for October & Leo has been enjoying his pond late in the season! BEARS!

We will be over-wintering these squirrels in luxury this year! Look out - spoiled squirrels!

Very adorable video of Leo playing with his pond rocks, when he suddenly hears a plane fly over.

Donation of peanuts came in and this was the result! Happy bears.

Ah, Jenny is enjoying the newly refilled &cleaned pond. Check out her little sneer in the beginning.

The pond had to be drained and cleaned 4the bears. Jenny HAD to go in with just inches of rain in it

I literally laughed out loud when I played this video. Oh Amy. Such a cute bear.

Our adorable Eastern Cottontails were released this week. Good lucky little ones.

Recently a fan sent a donation with a request - ”Please give the bears a treat with this donation”.

Susan collecting hair from the bears to be spun into yarn.

New den…NOT sanctioned and has NOT been approved by management. No idea how he is funding this.

A little poem for you about our eastern cottontails (in description).

Jenny and Amy - nothing like a bear lounging in their grassy divet while doing some leg stretching.

Sonya is enjoying the pond today. Beary relaxed, clearly with chill mode ”on”.

Some interesting facts about Eastern Cottontails (read description).

What is that hump on a brown bear’s upper back? Read description for an explanation!

Ah to be as zen as Jenny bear in her swing. “Wherever you are, be there totally.” So peaceful&sweet.

We have had a lot of bunnies this year! But that’s ok, because they’re so darn cute. 🥰

Our oldest bear is handsome Leo. He is a syrian brown bear and he is 30 years old now.

Squirrel release day! This guy stayed a little longer to turn around &thank Susan before he took off

Jenny from the block is wild, crazy & fun. Like any self respecting bear should be. You do you Jenny

Leo’s facial expressions are funny. He loves blowing bubbles in the pond. Such a fun bear.

Sonya, if you don’t have the most adorable ears of any creature on the planet, then who does?

Omg these rabbits are so cute. I love them so much.

This little squirrel family came in this week! Welcome little ones. You are in good hands now.

Leo has mastered the art of lounging like a pro. Now a bear with his face on BOOP shirts and mugs.

Jenny is hilarious (read description). Bears are so funny.

Kimmy (black bear, syrian brown bear mix) & Randy (syrian brown bear) relaxing in their play yard.

I dunno about you, but we think these are just two of the cutest bunnies ever.

Joyous jazzy Jenny! Jumping, jolly, jubilant, jestful, jiggling (but don’t tell her I said that.)

Nice long video of Jenny and Sonya bears enjoying the pond and waterfall. It’s been a heat wave!

Randy (syrian brown bear) cooling off in his pond under the waterfall. Bears are so dang cute.

Our pretty little girl bear Sonya hasn’t had a video posted in a while. Enjoying her day.

Thank you video!

A little Amy bear in her swing to get us started this lazy Monday morning.

Awwww. Look how big they have gotten. So stinking cute too. :)

The bears had a little visitor this week. Jenny seems curious about her new little friend.

Lazy morning for Kimmy bear …. Everyone needs a regroup day now and again.
