The rescue center said the bears had been reluctant to leave the warmth of their dens previously.
"It's been so cold the bears have not wanted to leave their den. They did for a SHORT time yesterday!" The caption to the video read.post that the two bears were Randy, a 23-year-old male Syrian brown bear, and Rosie, a female Kodiak grizzly bear also aged 23.
Some like the grizzly bear enter a partial hibernation during the winter months. During this time their bodies go into a state of torpor, which slows their basic functions, such as their heart rate, down. Bear metabolisms can slow by 50-60 percent during the hibernation periods. The center was created after founders Susan and Jim Kowalczik rescued a young black bear they named Frank who was brought into them paralyzed and in a coma after he was hit by a car in 2012.
Grizzly bear cubs for example typically stay with their mothers for two years in the wild learning survival skills from them before going their separate ways.
