Me reappearing in people’s lives after inexplicably disappearing for several months…

Anybody home? The bears at @katmainpp retreated to their dens to bed down for the winter in October/November. They will most likely remain in their dens throughout March. When they do emerge in late Spring, they’ll be thinner and ready to kickstart a more active lifestyle. Not so fast! They may need a few weeks to shift their physiology from one of rest and energy conservation to fully alert and ready to meet the demands of a new year. (i.e. Bulking up for #FatBearWeek ‘22)

Are you ready for Spring’s arrival?
