Bears are coming out of hibernation and emerging from their dens, looking for snacks. Since the heartier options still have yet to become available, they are left with the "bearest" of necessities - grass, roots and leaves. Watch til the end to see the bear climb back into its tree den! P.S. The lyrics to the song fit the clips perfectly. 😂 Footage of the bear going up/down was also increased to 2x. #Alaska #youneedalaska #travelalaska #spring #nature #explore #adventure #scenery #landscape #hi

Willow | Adventure Floof on Instagram: "it was our first time noticing a bear den, and of course the cats just wanted to explore the cave 😬 bear dens are temporary shelters that provide shelter for hibernating bears in the winter🐻 a bear den may not be so obvious in the winter and may just look like a leafy bed (or covered in snow). this one was an obvious bear-sized hole dug into the hill beneath trees. rock crevices and hollowed out trees are also commonly used. bear dens may be re-used over
