Andean Bear Cub Cam: Best Moments of the Week #2

Snuggle in! It's time for an Andean Bear Cub Cam moment with our 3-week-old cubs. Unlike several other bear species, Andean bears do not hibernate. Their native range in South America does not experience seasons like we do in North America. Instead, they only have a wet and dry season, allowing the bears to be active year round! Looking to stretch your time with this bear family? Watch them live on the Andean Bear Cub Cam.
