Bart Bear's Blog

Every bear needs a batch of places where he can hole up and hibernate when the weather starts to head towards winter. I have lots of places hidden around our house. Trouble is that Mum keeps finding them and "tidying them up". I reckon that she would find it hard to do much with this one, even a mother has her limits. I found this great hollow log on Norfolk Island. It is just the right size for a bear-house. The only thing you have to watch is the trio of spikes above the entry, but they help keep the big animals and people out. It even has a great big anchor outside to belt dangerous critters with, or to tie things like Santa's reindeer to when they come visiting. And, best of all, it is high on a hill and up off the ground so there is no way them nasty crabs can sneak up on sleeping small bears.
