June and cubs - August 6, 2007In this 74-second flashback to August 6, 2007, the bears find themselves in a forest opening with room to romp and play. June starts it off, and Lily goes wild playing tentatively with big June and then going after siblings for more fun. The bears often break into play when they hit forest openings and can run and chase and tackle. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n5YvMvN3t_I.
June and Lily play - August 6, 2007Some of the play looks rough, but having been the recipient of such play back in 1990 and 1991 when Gerry was a yearling and 2-year-old, I can say it’s not that bad. Some of the bites are harder than I would have liked but there was no damage. The brief play with Holly this last year was the same.
A focus today was finalizing the design for the mammal portion of the touch screen kiosks. So many people are working on the information for those, which is one of the things I’ll be telling TV reporters here in a few minutes. I don’t know if the short story will run tomorrow or will make the news tonight at 10 PM on KBJR Channel 6 .
