two months in the den before she

comes out herself for food or drink
The male bear comes out Of his den
a couple Of weeks before the female
will emerge with her cubs. When
she brings Them into the open she
protects them with the utmost care,
neither a male nor another female
can come near them. The reason
for this is that male bears, like most
other wild animals, are cannibalistic
and will greedily devour' their own
young. Male bears have been known
to kill the females in order to eat
the cubs at ease.
Black bears are not nearly so cam
nibalistic as the grizzly, and black
bears climb trees, while the grizzly
does not. Hence, one Of the first
things a black bear cub is taught is
to get up tree when danger threat
ems. This teaching results in the
black bear cub being ready for an
independent life by the end Of its
first summer. But the grizzly
mother takes her cubs into her den
with her for their 6rst winter, and
it is not until the end Of the second

summer that she sets them adrift to
fend for themselves. The black bear
will have cubs every year, but the
grizzly only every second year.
Female bears in captivity follow
to a certain extent the habits Of free
bears in this important matter of
their offspring. Black bears have
cubs every year and grizzlies only
every two years, despite the careful
protection they are given to prevent
the old males from devouring the
cubs. In this latitude the mating
time is the spring, from the middle
Of April to the middle Of May, and
the cubs are born in January while
the mother is still alternating.
Following the custom of free
bears, the female bears at the Bronx
Zoo do not come out Of winter quar-
ters and resume their summer eat
ing habits after the cubs are born,
but remain in retirement for an
other two months and continue their
winter diet. So far all is regular,
and a fine litter of outstanding cubs
might be expected, but the differ
ences begin at this point.
Bear cubs, though their mothers

may run up to eight or nine hundred
pounds in weight, weigh not more
than nine or ten ounces at birth.
The average is nearer eight ounces.
They are naked little creatures with
hardly a hair on their small bodies,
and the drowsy mother gathers them
in her arms and holds them close to
her for two months, keeping them
alive with. the warmth of her own
body while they suckle her, growing
fat and strong and acquiring a COW
ering of fur to keep Jhem.warn. Dur
ing all that time the mother neither
eats nor drinks. Her whole time
and attention are given to feeding
her cubs and keeping them warm in
the protecting circle of her arms:
But the female bear in captivity
cannot stand the strain of this regi-
men. For one thing, her curiosity
is too overpowering. 1t is well

ceeds the bear for curiosity. Every
new thing, big or little, that comes
under its ken must be investigated.
If Peter Romanoff taps ever so light
ly on the nameplate on the front of
VANS Enclosure, the big bear will
come clear from the back of the
place, rear up on his hind legs and
sniff and smell around that name
plate for five minutes to see what has
happened. A keeper dropped a
broom near old Badly one day not
long ago, and Badly dissected that
broom and separated it straw by
straw before she had satisfied herself
as to what it was and how it was
made.

slams Enclosure. She did not leave
her den for either food or drink un-
til she could bring her cubs out
strong and we'll grown.
Czarina, a Syrian bear, furnished
an example year later of how far
bears in captivity can wander from
ancestral customs. She had cubs,
but instead of retreating to the FIR
thest and warmest corner of her
den, she came out into the open and
down to the corner of her Enclosure
nearest to the public road and most
exposed to view. There Peter Ro-
manoff found her one January morn
ing with three naked and shivering
cubs.
Ordinarily a female bear with
her cubs is more dangerous than
eight ounces of TINT, but Peter,
after carefully considering the sit
uation, ventured into the inclosure
with large bundle of straw. Gar
ina Let him gently push the straw
under her and her cubs and add
more to it until she had a soft, warm
bed. Then she lay there quietly
while he built wooden hut around
her and over her and provided her
with new den to replace the one
she had deserted.
Lest those who know something
of bears accuse Peter of "string-
ing" let it be added that DR.. Horna-
day confirms him.
Those who go to the Bronx to
see and study the bears there will
find them living in pairs, and, in
the case Of the black bears, four in
one Enclosure. This is a curious
difference between bears in captiv-
ity and the same animals in their
free state.

Pine for Donesticity

Out in the open bears are not
particularly sociable beasts. They
don't object to one another's society
so much as that they don't seek it.
Solitude seems to be their prefer
ence. If they come together it is
casually and by chance. They do
not herd together. They den up
each by himself in winter and each
has his own lair in summer Male
and female do not live together at
any time of the year, no more in
the mating season than at any other
time.
In captivity, on the other hand,
they get along better when they live
in pairs, male and female together.
To be sure, each has his separate
den for the winter asd each makes

the den at the sound Of a. pebble
rolling down over the rocks. The
indignant snort Of a male bear be-
ing harried up the hill by a keeper
who wants to clean the den will
bring her out. Any little sound,
anything unusual, will make her
leave her cubs, and she comes out
regularly for food and takes her
time eating it, leaving her cubs, Of
course, to shiver and freeze until
she gets back. AS a result, bear
! cubs born in captivity are more
than likely to die from pneumonia.
There is only one good bear
mother in the Bronx Zoo. She is a
Russian brown bear. She can be
counted on to bring her cubs
through safely. A year ago she had
three cubs and all lived to be fine
young fellows. Two Of them were
sent to Antwerp with two black bear
cubs to replenish the zoo there and
the third is still in the Bronx.
One winter few years ago, when
the snow was especially heavy and
remained on the ground unusually
late in the spring, there was an OPP
portunity to observe how self-deny-
ing really good bear mother is.
This old Russian had a litter Of cubs
born in January Of that winter.
The snow was on the ground when
the cubs were born and remained
until late in March. During the
whole time not single bear track
appeared in the snow in the Rus

his own bed on the rocks in the
summer, but when they are sepa-
rated they seem to pine. A captive
bear wants mate. 1t is not enough
for him to see other bears in the
Enclosures to either side Of him.
He wants a mate in his own in
closure. And he will fight for his
mate.
Up in the Bronx couple Of years
ago it was deemed necessary for
some now forgotten reason to take
the female from one Enclosure and
put her with the male in the next
inclosure. The bear deprived of
his mate went into a furious rage.
The two Enclosures were separated
by twenty-foot steel fence made
of panels, three feet by six feet, Of
two-inch steel bars woven like bas-
network and the panels strongly
bolted together. With marvellous
exhibition of strength the bear
which had lost his mate tore out
one of the panels and went through
the opening into the next Enclosure,
where the two male bears engaged
in life and death struggle. 1t took
small army of keepers with an
unlimited supply Of pick handles 20
separate them and drive the first
bear back into his own Enclosure.
And his mate had to be returned to
him.
An ashen pick handle is the best
weapon for dealing with a bear.
Bears are often accused Of ferocity,
and wonderful tales are told Of
their lying in wait to attack the
hunter trailing them. The truth is
that they are almost timorous. They
rarely fight unless attacked first
and then will seek safety in fight
if the least opportunity offers. 1t
is only when cornered that they
will fight, but when they do turn
and fight there is no other wild
animal so greatly to be feared.
Bears in captivity are more to
be feared than those in their native
state, for they are confined in a
small space There is no room for
flight, no place to fly to, no cover
10 seek and no road to take. Yet,
even in these small bare Enclosures,
at menacing gesture from the
keeper they will shuttle away to the
furthest point, and pick handle
sent Gathering among the rocks will
rout any venturesome spirit that
considers returning without per-
mission.

and, off the Alaskan coast. She be-
gins In the autumn as soon as the
leaves start to fall from the trees
to corral all those the wind carries
into her inclosure and carefully
drags them into her den to make her
winter bed. The keepers give her
straw to finish up her den, but they
give no straw to the other bears, for
they only drag it out and throw it
into the pools.
The old Admiralty bear goes into
her den along toward the end of
November and truly hibernates for
the next six weeks. For the other
bears in the Bronx the chief differ
ence between winter and summer is
that in summer their dens are
cleaned out every week, while they
are not cleaned out at all in winter.
In the matter of water, they come
out every day, break the ice in their
pools and go>in for a good bath. A
self-respecting bear is far cleaner
than the average human. They come
out of the bath and trot around their
Enclosures, while the water freezes in
their fur and they sound like glass
chandelier in a high wind.
Motherhood is another thing that
distinguishes the free bear from the
captive. In her native state the
female bear is one of the most care
full mothers known to students of
animal life. In the Northern Rock
les the mating time is between the
middle of June and tie end Of Au-
gust. and the most careful observa-
ton extending over thirty years has
never discovered two bears pairing
off and living together during the
whole or any part of the mating Pc
Rod. The period Of CESSATION for
bears is from seven to seven and
half months, and the time of birth in
northern ATTITUDES is the latter half
Of February or the first part of
March.
