This is the time of year that bears bulk up for winter. Their hair grows in thicker and fuller, they put on a lot of weight and they do some winter prep. While bears in captivity do not fully hibernate they do slow down a great deal. They will sleep most of the day and eat much less, going from about 30 lbs of food a day (for the bigger bears) down to about 5 lbs a day. They will still get up most day sand go outside, but their activity level decreases dramatically. But you’ll also see many videos from us this winter of them playing and romping in the snow, and that always brings many questions about their hibernation.
