Scratches on the ground?

These scratches were made by bear claws. Bears sometimes dig several dens for hibernation in winter and sometimes switch dens, as they don’t fall into a deep sleep in winter but can wake up at any time from their hibernation. By the way, this den was dug by our bear lady Mascha.

Tomatoes on the tree?

 Wild bears spend more than 12 hours per day foraging. At our sanctuary, our animal caretaker team provides the bears with all the food. The food is hidden and spread in the forest or speared on branches to keep the bears busy while foraging.

Pine cones in the pear tree?

This was a woodpecker’s work! He put the spruce cone in the pear tree so that he can pick out the seeds more easily. It’s a common method for woodpeckers and other birds to get their food that way.

Can bears climb? While young brown bears often climb trees, you don’t see fully-grown brown bears up in the trees that often. One reason is the weight that obviously increases with their size. Fully-grown bears that weigh less are more likely to climb even when they are older. Today you can build your own climbing bear! Follow the steps on our tutorial.
