Wake up! Spring is here! Did you know that bears hibernate during the winter season? Male bears retreat to their dens mid-December and emerge in mid-March. Female bears, which give birth during the winter and stay with their cubs for two years, remain in their dens longer, from late November to mid-April. Click on the pictures below.
