Honey's tongue marks in snowFor Honey, thirst was an issue today—about a month earlier than she came out for snow last year. Today, an astute Pond Chat Moderator spotted the action as Honey came halfway out of her den and began licking snow. She maneuvered the PTZ camera to grab a shot complete with time stamp. Later, staff snapped a picture of the unmistakable pattern of a bear licking snow.
Honey eating snowThe staff said we have enough leaves for Holly with a good bunch left over for Honey and Ted if we want. Thank you! Scott says Monday will be leaf day when we give Holly a few more. Many thanks.
Thank you for all you do.
