Today was the culmination of about a year and a half of planning and work. The new bear pen was finally ready for its first occupants. We have 6 bear cubs waiting to be released and the pen they were in was getting pretty crowded. At 10:30 AM the process of moving the cubs into the new pen began. The days activities have been split into two pages. Page 1 shows the work involved in getting the cubs out of the old pen and processed by the DNR. Page 2 shows the cubs installed in and exploring their new pen. Here's a shot of the new pen. You can see that it is significantly larger than the old on the left side of the picture.
