Black Bears - Minnesota / Lucky & Honey

(1/5) > >>

Kinderchick:
Honey and Lucky have been denning together again, although they have traded places in the den. Honey is in the back of the den now, where Lucky had previously been and Lucky is now near the entrance door. Apparently Lucky has recently been making some "romantic" advances towards Honey but so far, she has not been one bit interested in being his "Honey". ;) Lots of clacking and blowing on her part.

Kinderchick:
Apparently, Lucky has had to sleep outdoors for the past few nights, since Honey would not let him back into the den...

"Lucky has settled in a protected snowless area under an overturned stump.  It looks like some of the wild dens we’ve seen.  Meanwhile, Honey seems to be enjoying having the big den to herself."

Here is a video of Honey, with the whole den to herself, playing with her pony ball...

And here is a video of the stand-off between Honey & Lucky about 2 hours ago, when Lucky finally insisted on returning to the den. Not for the faint of heart! LOL!

Kinderchick:
Lots of action in Honey & Lucky's den yesterday! :o Honey went out for a walk in the afternoon, which also gave Lucky an opportunity to go for a walk himself. Honey then came back to the den first and raked much of the shared bedding over to Lucky's side of the den. After that , she proceeded to make herself at home on Lucky's side, by settling right in there. It now seems that she finally got what she seems to have wanted all winter, which is to have the whole den to herself! Lucky tried to come back into his den last night, but Honey would not let him!

For all of the details, here is a link to the blog...

Kinderchick:
Honey & Lucky have not been getting along at all this winter. :P Almost every afternoon, Honey appears restless and keeps blowing and clacking at Lucky, whenever she has a chance. Lucky tries to sleep through her attempts to antagonize him, but this afternoon it just seemed all too much for him. He actually sat up and took a big swipe at her, which seems to have put her in her place, for now. Honey has since calmed down and Lucky appears to have gone back to sleep. Whew!

Kinderchick:
Honey was very active again this afternoon, raking more bedding and blowing and clacking at Lucky. She even sat up on her hind legs during a few of her "episodes". This didn't appear to disturb Lucky's sleep, though.  ;)
