FOUR PAWS have three bear sanctuaries open to the public. These sanctuaries provide a natural habitat for the bears so that they can follow their instincts and natural behaviour patterns. Each of the sanctuaries have enclosures where the bears are free to swim in pools, dig a den, climb trees or rocks and explore the f...orested areas.
As wild bears spend much of the day foraging for food the bear keepers hide food throughout the enclosure enabling the bears to follow their natural behaviour and forage for food. During the winter months the bears are free to hibernate in their constructed dens or the dens they have dug. Each year the keepers enjoy watching the bears hibernating, some for the first time of their life.
