  5. Black Bear Facts • Black bears in Minnesota hibernate for six months. (September or October until April) • Black bears do not sleep the whole time. They may wake up and leave their den or take care of cubs. • They have good hearing and sense of smell but poor eyesight. • Bears are good swimmers and tree climbers. • Bears communicate with growls, whines and sniffs. Woof- woof sounds mean danger is close by. • Bears live alone except for mothers with cubs. • Cubs are usually born in January or February and stay with their mother until they are 16-17 months old. • Black bears rarely attack humans. Grizzly bears may attack.

  6. Lily and Hope • Now that Hope is getting bigger and it is getting warmer, Lily is leaving her alone in the den. • Lily goes out to get more bedding for the den. • Hope gets mad and cries for Lily. • Lily gives Hope comfort by making a woo-woo sound.

  7. Hope leaves the den Hope crawled out of the den on March 21st. Many people were worried about her. The researchers told everyone it was ok. Lily and Hope went back to the den later.
