December 13 – is the Day of the symbol of our country, a powerful, smart and handsome animal – the BEAR! And today we want to show you how Puяzha was preparing for wintering. Unfortunately, Internet was not working yesterday, so we share with you the footage of Puzha today.

Puzha is not the first bear cub, who was left for wintering in OBRC. That's why there is already prepared den, built by several "generations" of the bear cubs. And in this den bear cub Chudo successfully wintered several years ago. We supposed that Puzha would use this den. And Puzha confirmed our suggestions – from time to time she came to the den and even entered it.

We decided to assist Puzha to organize her winter shelter, and while she was away at the another enclosure corner, we brought "building material" - spruce branches, fern, dry leaves, and began to wait, constantly watching the den from afar. But during few days Puzha appeared there only a few times. And we suggested that probably young female found another place for the den. We saw it, removed our observation point to another place and started to watch the den every day changing each other every several hours.
