Polar Bear Guide - Lara, the Twins, Denali and Candy

I would like to give you a guide of polar bears. Thank you for your patience until the end. It seems that the mother and children have gone down. I would like you to listen to the story while looking at the polar bears. First of all, I would like to briefly introduce the polar bears that are kept in the Maruyama Zoo. The polar bears you see in front of you are the mother, Lala, an 18-year-old girl. There are two small ones around her. These are the children who were born on December 8 last year and are now about four months old. In addition, the mother and children are here, but where is the father? Actually, the father, Lenari, who is a polar bear named Osu, who is a little excited, is next to him. He is 19 years old now. There is another female polar bear who is living with him. She is Candy, a 20-year-old girl. There are five of them in total in the Maruyama Zoo. I will briefly introduce their personalities. Now the children have gone up. Lala is very alert. She is really smart compared to Lenari and Candy. She is very alert and smart. She is a super mother who has given birth to seven children, including the two that were born this time. She is a very famous super mother in the polar bear world. I am also very relieved to see Lala. As for the father, he is very innocent at his age. When there is an event, he really shows his true colors. He is an innocent father who shows his true colors at such times. He is a man who does it properly when he does it. The other female polar bear, Candy, is very alert. However, Candy is very timid and timid. It is easy to understand. The other day, Candy peed in the room when the female polar bear passed in front of her. She is that timid. All polar bears have different personalities depending on their individuality. We are taking good care of raising them according to their individuality. Now the twins have gone up. I would like to introduce how the twins are doing recently. Meizaku was born on the 8th of December last year. How big do you think he was when he was born? He was just born. He weighs 600 grams. It is hard to imagine. He is about the size of a large dog. He looks like a dog. He has white hair since he was born. The other day, we did a physical examination of the twins for the first time. The result was that he was 20 kilograms. He has grown so much. He is about 80 centimeters tall. He is almost the same as the twins. By the way, he is 13 centimeters tall. Please compare it with your hand. He is very big. He has very thick legs and waist. He will probably be about 100 kilograms in a year. He is growing at a great speed. I think now is the best time for him. All children are cute. I think this is the best time for him to be with his mother. Especially, he is a twin. I think this is the best time for him to communicate with his mother. He is usually awake now. However, he usually sleeps for 1.5 to 2 hours. When he sleeps for a long time, he sleeps for about 3 hours. He wakes up and plays alone. Then, he gets tired and goes to bed. He lives in such a cycle every day. Recently, he has been eating the same food as his mother. The main food for polar bears in Maruyama Zoo is meat. Bears eat anything. However, polar bears eat a lot of meat. Meat is the main food for polar bears. We eat horse meat, Hokke, chicken, vegetables, apples, carrots, cabbages, grapes, oranges, and kiwis. Recently, we feed polar bears once a day at 4.30 p.m. At that time, polar bears come to eat the food first. Now, they are handing the food to polar bears. They love meat and Hokke. They eat it alone. However, most of the food is taken by their mother. So, polar bears eat food, but they still drink milk. The ratio of polar bears to milk is 8 to 2. Even so, we feed polar bears Niboshi. They always eat Niboshi. They try to eat Hokke, but they are taken by their mother. We feed polar bears Niboshi over and over again. In the morning, we feed polar bears Niboshi. Their mother is breastfeeding. So, she consumes a lot of energy. By the way, a male polar bear eats 8 to 9 kilograms of food. A female polar bear eats 7 kilograms of candy. A male polar bear eats 16 to 17 kilograms of candy. He keeps a slim figure. So, he consumes a lot of energy. He is always watching. Children can move freely. However, he is always watching. When they are born, they move differently. One polar bear is very active. He moves freely. He goes out to play alone. The other polar bear is a spoiled child. He plays near Lala. Sometimes, he moves away from Lala. Sometimes, he comes back to Lala. How do polar bears distinguish each other? When they measure their body size, polar bears have their ears slanted. Polar bears with active ears have their right ears slanted. Polar bears with a spoiled face have their left ears slanted. If you look closely, you can see the difference. However, polar bears grow up quickly. You can see their faces. I judge their eyes and facial expressions. I think it is interesting to observe their behavior. I want you to know about the reproduction of polar bears. When polar bears live in Sapporo, Lala gives birth to polar bear babies every few years. I think you may think that Lala gave birth to polar bear babies again. It is very difficult to reproduce polar bears. In fact, only Lala and Denari were born in Japan after 2000. So, we have never seen polar bears in Sapporo. Can you imagine how many polar bears are raised in Japan? By the way, more than 30 years ago, more than 600 polar bears were raised in Japan. Now, only 44 polar bears are raised in Japan. The number of polar bears is decreasing rapidly. The reason why the number of polar bears is decreasing rapidly is that polar bears did not do anything in particular. Of course, the number of polar bears is increasing. However, it is not enough to increase the number of polar bears. We have to create an environment where polar bears can give birth safely to animals. In our zoo, we have created an environment where Lala can give birth to polar bears safely. At the beginning of Lala's birth, she gave birth to a baby that had just been born. She gave birth to a baby that had just been born. For that reason, before giving birth to a baby, the condition of giving birth to a polar bear is a state in which there is no light at all, a state in which there is no sound at all, and a state in which there is no sound of people or animals at all. There are three rooms in this room. In this room, we can't see anything, and we can't hear any sound at all. Before giving birth, we try not to stand in the sound. The whole bear house is closed nearby. It is an environment where we can finally raise a baby. This is quite difficult in other zoos, and we haven't been able to do it well. However, if we leave it as it is, even if Lala's baby grows, the blood will become thicker. In the next few years, polar bears will probably not be able to be seen in Japan. In order to prevent this from happening, the Japan Polar Bear Cooperative has launched a polar bear breeding project. Candy is also part of this project. There is a woman who is renting a polar bear from Toyohashi Zoo for breeding purposes. In this project, we have moved a variety of polar bears that can reproduce in Japan. As a result, we gave birth to two Lala last year, and a mother named Kurumin is still growing well after giving birth to a polar bear child last year. The results of this project are gradually being revealed. Last year, Candy gave birth to twins on December 30th. It is very difficult to give birth, but unfortunately, both twins died soon. Originally, the contract period for renting the polar bear will expire this year, but we were able to extend the contract to next year and now Candy is here. Denali and Candy have been living together since this morning. When I glanced at them earlier, I could see that Candy was in a very bad condition. If the female does not give birth, the male will be able to give birth at any time. When I glanced at them earlier, I could see that Candy was in a very bad condition. If Denali and Candy do not give birth, we may not be able to see them together. If this goes well, we may be able to see Candy's children here again next year. If you are interested in polar bears, I would like you to know more about polar bears. I think the children will be here for a year. It is possible that the children will be able to breed and go to different zoos. I would like you to support the children and polar bears. It is said that if the number of domestic polar bears decreases, it is better to put them in from overseas, but it is not easy. The facilities are small. It is also in the basic plan of the Maruyama Zoo, but there is also talk of building a new polar bear museum. I would like you to support us because we are aiming to build a breeding base for polar bears that the Maruyama Zoo in Sapporo represents all over the country. Thank you for your attention.
