Boris had come out of hibernation after only three months of sleep, he was a male black bear and did not need to stay in the den as long as his wife did. She still had the two cubs that had been born last year with her and it was best for the three to stay in their den until more food was easily available.
With the turn into full spring, his family would be awakening soon, though Boris knew it was best to stay away from his young children until their second year, when they were big enough to fend for themselve, he had his hopes for the future of the family farm on one of the cubs of this litter. Last summer the littlest female cub began to show interest in how the plants grew in the garden rather than just eating her share and moving on. This is how Boris had started and was noticed by his grandfather. Where most bears ate whatever they found that was good to eat, a few were curious about how food grew and how to grow more for themselves and their community.
