Bear Enjoys Using Box as Scratching Pad

Occurred on July 25, 2021 / Boyd, Texas, USA

: "Spearmint is enjoying his enrichment of natural wood chips inside a large box given to him at The Wild Animal Sanctuary - Texas. Enrichment is important for captive animals because it encourages them to engage in natural behaviors such as scent-marking that you can see in the video. Spearmint is currently residing in a 1-acre wooded habitat that has plenty of room to roam and natural food to forage."
