Earlier this year, our #WSUBears helped test coolers from companies who want to market them as 'bear resistant'. Through the testing, our bears are helping wild bears stay out of trouble. Once bears are used to human food, they lose their fear of people. https://t.co/yBXSVSbh3L

I learned so much about wild animals and the #WSUBears from my friend Charles Robbins of @CASatWSU and @WSUBearCenter. #scienceeducation #sciencecommunication https://t.co/PlowdV3rjf

Feeding honey to hibernating bears helped #WSU researchers find the potential genetic keys to the bears’ insulin control, an advance that could ultimately lead to a treatment for human diabetes. #WSUBears #GoCougs https://t.co/KuBeDSQr2M

We used PacBio @PacBio Hifi and a trio-binning strategy to build a highly contiguous new genome, courtesy of WSU’s very own bear center. #wsubears This new genome improves the old bear assembly contig N50 by ~88x, and also provides some Y chromosome information. 2/4

How do bears simply turn the hibernation switch on & off, being inactive w/out losing muscle mass or bone strength, & survive? #WSUBears scientists are working to decode that enormously complex switch. Read more in this @wsmagazine story. #GoCougs https://t.co/oQcPRdcYDX

This month's Bear Tracks post about the #WSUBears comes to us from our friends @wsmagazine, who compiled several videos on one page. The bears are still hibernating & normally start waking up in late March/early April, depending on weather. #GoCougs https://t.co/kAS36PSwum

It’s Bear Tracks, raccoon edition! The #WSUBears are hibernating, but other creatures aren’t. Recently, the Bear Center manager was asked if she could humanely relocate raccoons. The #WSU Children’s Center had 2 friends hanging out near the kids’ playgrounds & needed them moved.

The #WSUBears are hibernating, but we’re still doing monthly Bear Tracks posts. Here’s a video from July featuring one of the enrichment feeding “toys” that makes the bears work for their food. Using peanut butter to cover holes stuffed with food is very popular. #GoCougs

The #WSUBears have started to go into hibernation, so we’re taking the Bear Tracks posts down to monthly until spring. But here’s an awesome video featuring a donated 212 (!) lb. pumpkin taken a few weeks ago. Get in there, buddy! #GoCougs 🎃🐻

The #WSUBears are starting the hibernation process for the winter. That doesn't mean they automatically go to sleep, but they're already much less active & won't eat again until spring. Here's the 2021 greatest hits video made from our monthly video shoots. #NapTime #GoCougs

The #WSUBears start #hibernation next week. Here's a greatest hits video compiled from the monthly enrichment videos we did in 2021. We'll keep doing Bear Tracks posts monthly throughout the winter until they wake up in the spring. #GoCougs

Nap time. The #WSUBears are ready for hibernation, which will start next week. But sometimes you gotta get a little practice in, you know? This is one of the more relaxing Bear Tracks videos, we think. #NapTime #GoCougs

This week’s Bear Tracks video is a quick one, showing just how the #WSUbears dug out the den we’ve shown a few times in this series. It’s a lot of work, but a real team effort among the bears. #GoCougs

In this week’s Bear Tracks video, we’ve got 3 #WSUbears enjoying deer scents. Bears have an incredible sense of smell & love to surround themselves with a scent they love. Deer is obviously very popular. #GoCougs

This week’s Bear Tracks video is from earlier this summer. It’s a view from above of one of the #WSUBears finding the food hidden in a hanging log. Holes are drilled in the wood, food & treats are put in, then the holes are covered over w/peanut butter. #nomnom #GoCougs

This week's Bear Tracks picks up where we left off last week, but this time with the #WSUBears in the den they dug in the exercise yard. We used a new trail cam to get shots of them in the den, plus going in & out. #GoCougs

Here’s another view of the den when it has 3 adult humans inside. #WSUBears

Let's visit a bear den! This week's Bear Tracks video features the #WSU Bear Center manager going into a den the #WSUBears have dug in their exercise yard. Stick around for the claw marks on the wall! They even made a bed in there. For scale, 4 adult humans fit easily in there.
