Moon bear friends adapt to change as the neighbours move in

24 July 2015

It’s all change in House 6 for beautiful moon bear friends Caz and Luna, as their long time ‘neighbours’ Mary and Bibi officially move in.

Caz and Luna are very used to each other’s company having long lived together as firm friends. It’s a friendship that could prove comforting when being introduced to potential new pals.

Although they have lived in separate areas of House 6 for quite some time, the two couples have never before  shared the same pace. The change is taking some getting used to with old friends choosing to stick with the familiar rather than forge new friendships.

But all four bears will be given time to get to know each other for a little while, before House 6 welcomes another two female bears, Maple and Dolly. Their proposed arrival will rather neatly unite 6 bears in House 6.

For now Caz and Luna are getting used to their new, larger environment and as their confidence has grown, the pair have roamed more widely. Tiny moon bear Caz has been particularly fearless and has made herself at home exploring log piles, stretching out on bamboo hammocks and clambering over platforms.
