..~~ Thank you again for observations and .. Eiquoc for the videos..
The collar seems lost for now.

I think we are learning that the bears are not sleeping all the time. This pm (here) I saw them both wide awake,playing a little and grooming.
Its interesting too the read that the bears seem to chew their foot pads during the den period.
We are seeing a lot of semingly unknown behavior. We have time to see this while we are waiting for the birth.
Thank you..

I hear Hope 'motoring' for past five minutes.

2:31 Hope has apparently been outside.. she re-entered the den and clombed over a disgruntled Lily.

Past 10 mins movement and settling again now.

2:33 Hear 'motoring' sounds. Can see hope tugging at nipples.

2:41 Both seem to be settling down now,though can hear Hope motoring now and then.

Hi Macdoun I have been here watching too just multi-tasking now going to post my scaps. I agree we are learning lots with the cam in the den

Bev Thanks. Not to worry post when you can ...I did enough for the both of us

743 pm
Can hear Hope nursing. They were both just awake
and moving about the den...what we could see anyway.
Hear some groans too periodically so not sure Hope is
wanting to nurse and Lily not want to her or what.

Hope is definitely nursing now....her motor hum is heard.




610 pm
They were awake too.

Earlier today...

Moving about...smile for the cam


In this snappy Lily had the den blankees aflying
as she was busy rearrangeing the den


Not sure what was going on here but lots of
communication heard....groans...Hope is visible
in this cap

Movement heard and seen....groans heard too.


Hope is nursing again in this one.


Quiet

I think I hear hope 'humming' does it sort of sound like a high pitched cat purr?

Such a sweet face.

Scratch that itch


Lily is awake and active.
Resting her head in the front never
seen her do this before.
