It was a good year to spot bears, the abundance of buffaloberries brought them to bottom of the valleys. Afterward they spread out, searching for food elsewhere. But now October is here, cold weather is pushing through, soon the bears will be looking for a place to sleep for the winter. First it will be the young bears, females and females with cubs and then followed by the larger bears. Bears do not go into true hibernation, for example like the marmots, for the bears the body temperature only drops few degrees, as does their heart rate. They still use fair amount of calories per day, coming from the fat they put on during all that eating. Some will wake up during a warm day in winter, but they will not be very active, they will soon curl up again and go back to sleep until spring arrives.
Until next moment,
Amar
