January.

Is that winter?

Yes.

Ah!

I'm already so behind!

Grizz, you're not seriously gonna sleep for five months?

Jeez, I gotta start eating right now if I wanna catch up.

I'll take this book and everything in here, please.

To go. Bear gathers food.

Whee!

Bear eats.

Oh boy, oh boy, oh boy!

You don't need all this, right?

What's next?

One for Meekie-chan, and one for Panda.

Did you know that grizzlies like myself can gain up to 400 pounds while preparing for hibernation?

In fact, did you know grizzlies can travel hundreds of miles to find enough food to blast them through the whole winter?

Grizzlies are pretty amazing, right?

Ah!

The hunt continues! All right, let's see what I'm doing.

Yup, nice and full.

What's next? Bear collects soft things for the den.

Soft things, eh?

Ooh, share an ice cream with a ladle.

Huh?

Oh, what is this?

To Be Continued.
