Toronto Zoo Grizzly Bear Hibernation Question

[Zoogoer2000]

Hey everyone. Just had a question about the grizzly bears in Canadian Domain. When they hibernate in the winter at Toronto Zoo, do they sleep in there holding rooms or is there a special den?Just asking if anyone had the awnser.

It's mentioned in the Collections magazine that they were getting winter sleepy in November.

I think I could recall one winter seeing them sleeping in the cave that is in there exhibit.

Hi Zoogoer and everyone,
The grizzlies bed down for winter in their night house; they are separated, and each has two pens, one of which is full of bedding material (straw, shavings, etc) that they can make into a bed/nest thing.
