So far, however, bears, three Himalayan and six brown, are not rushing to the street from their houses. In the zoological garden explain this natural process. They say that animals fell asleep only in the middle of January, when severe frosts began. Now we can say, they doze off, but they are pleased from time to time by the appearance of the zoo keepers, writes the City Watch.

Jeanne Sivukha representative of the Kharkov Zoo Now the Bears are not yet very vigorous and active. The reason for this is the weather, as soon as it becomes warmer and there will be more bright and sunny days, the activity of bears, accordingly, will increase. While they prefer, basically, to be in dens. They go out into the fresh air for only a few minutes in order to soak up the sun and then return to their bedchamber again.

The awakening from the winter sleep of the bears is accompanied by certain physiological processes, adds Jeanne Sivukha. In the spring bears lose weight more strongly, because they have almost nothing to eat for a month or two or two.

Only in May, when vegetation appears, the period of their fasting ends. Given all these features, in the zoo after waking from sleep, bears are offered more vitamins.

Jeanne Sivukh representative of the Kharkov Zoo After leaving the winter sleep, the ration of the bears is determined. Since in the nature of the bear in the spring eat plant food. In the zoo the same basis is made up of apples and carrots, over time the diet is expanded and supplemented with fish and meat.
