Summer and her three yearlings were spotted. All of her cubs survived. This boosts survival of last year’s cubs now to
Fur wall at the NABC 13 out of 15—87%. 9-year-old Summer is the daughter of Shannon, who is the daughter of Donna, who is the daughter of Blackheart, who was the daughter of 31-year-old Shadow who we are waiting to see.
At the Bear Center, crowds began with this Memorial Day weekend. The fur wall was popular with children. Patches of fur at kid height have signs encouraging visitors to please feel the fur. It is the best display I know of showing the many fur types possessed by aquatic and terrestrial mammals in this area.
Thank you for all you do.
