ON THE LOOKOUT
Pregnant females are usually the first to enter dens preparing for hibernation. These females, with their newborn cubs, are the last to exit dens. Adult makes, on the other hand, enter dens later and emerge earlier than most other bears. In the northern areas, bears may spend up to 8 months in dens, while in areas with relatively mild winters, such as Kodiak some make bears stay active all winter.
