Black Bears - Minnesota / Lucky & Honey
Kinderchick:
Honey has been quite restless today. The Kinderchicklets were watching this den cam this morning and she was wide awake, playing with her ball, gathering more bedding around her and staring at Lucky (who appeared to be sleeping and didn't budge the whole time), every once in awhile blowing and clacking at him! :o Almost as if she's trying to get him to move out, even though he was there first. ::)
The Peregrine Chick:
For those of you who want to know more about the bears in Minnesota there is a show currently running on Animal Planet. It's the Mutual of Omaha production titled "Bearwalker of the Northwoods" and is about Lynn Rogers the bear biologist who runs the Minnesota black bear research program of whic Lucky, Honey, June, Lily, Hope, Faith (the three Amigos, big Harry, etc) are a part of.
Animal Planet - Bearwalker of the Northwoods
Thursday (5th) = 8am, 2pm
Friday (6th) = 5am, 9am
Saturday (7th) = 7am
Its an amazing show that focuses on June and her sister Juliet and their cubs from 2007 (if I remember correctly) through 2009. Juliet's cub Dave (the only one of three to survive in 2008) as well as June's 2007 triplets one of whom was/is Lily. And yes, it talks about the issue of hunting near the research area. Lynn rewrote bear legislation when he worked in govt a couple of decades ago and was instrumental in reducing the bear season from year-round to just six weeks in the fall.
If you get a chance to watch the show, do. If you have a VCR or a PVR, do record it, it is worth the hour to watch it!!
Kinderchick:
Honey's awake and playing with her rubber ball in the den. Lucky looks to be sound asleep or at least pretending to be, so as not to annoy Honey. ;)
Kinderchick:
Apparently, Honey & Lucky had "words" again yesterday and today, with lots of blowing and clacking at each other. Also, Honey keeps dragging toys into the den to play with but is not inclined to share them with Lucky. ::)
Kinderchick:
Lucky & Honey appear to be sleeping soundly, at the moment, but I came across this cute video that was posted on the NABC website in mid-December when Honey left the den to go for a little walk and came back with a toy to play with...
