Black Bear Watching Tour

Black Bear Watching Tour


Even though it had stopped raining long enough for us to set up our tents, eat, play and go to bed, by morning, It was raining again, so we were very thankful that Eric had brought a big tarp and wooden poles and had taught us how to protect our campsite from getting wet! We were excited about the rain, but we were glad to be dry! 



Our campsite was messy by Hong Kong standards and we were feeling a bit down and frustrated with all the dampness around us, but this didn’t stop the day from happening! Nope, Mimi woke us up and told us we had just a few minutes to be in the cars as we were late for our Black Bear Tour. We hadn’t slept in on purpose, Mimi had read the time wrong, and had phoned the place, and they were willing to wait for a few minutes. Luckily, the Bear Watching Tour was very close.



Even though the weather was not as good as we expected, we still managed to see two bears feeding in the wild. They didn’t care about the weather at all. They happily foraged for food along the shore line. They lift rocks to find critters and crabs underneath them. We learned that Black Bear cubs are mostly killed by their fathers, so the mothers are very protective of them, and because of this, you will never see a mother, father, and baby bear together – only a mother with her cubs.






As a Hong Konger city dweller, I was excited to see the Black bears as it was the first time I have been that close to dangerous wild animals – thankfully, we were in a boat, so we could easily get away if necessary. But they were so cute, I would have loved to have gotten even closer to them.




We also met Adam and Max on the boat, so the ride back was quite entertaining. Takky fell in love with Adam. He had really blonde hair and really blue eyes. Both Max and Adam were almost our age and very friendly. We enjoyed having fun with them.
