The Bears:

There will be 3 den-cams this year.

Lily and yearling daughter Faith. Faith was one of the twins born last year. Lily will not have babies this year.

Honey and Lucky. There bears are not wild. They live at the bear center. Their "den" is a building. They are funny to watch as they "argue" over space and bedding.

Jewel is a 2-year-old female who may give birth this winter.


 * [|What Can you Hear]? **


 * Moaning or Whining - ** Faith makes a low moan or whine when she wants milk from her mother.


 * Grunting - ** Lily makes short, soft grunts at her babies to call them or reassure them.


 * Humming or Chittering - ** This noise shows that the babies are drinking milk from their mother. If Jewel has babies he babies will hum softly. Faith the yearling sounds like a motorboat when she suckles !


 * Crying or Squealing - ** Small babies make these sounds when they are hungry and need to nurse or if they crawl out from under their mother and get cold. If the cold air hits them when the mother licks them they cry, also.


 * Other Sounds - ** There is static or a soft whine in the mike all the time. Sometimes you can hear the wind blow or outside sounds such as snowmobiles, planes, dogs etc.


 * Blowing and Clicking - ** Honey and Lucky may blow and click their teeth if fussing over space and bedding/
