How do your contributions help support the Baylor Bear Habitat?
Bear Enrichment
Joy and Lady enjoy daily opportunities for enrichment and play. From digging to climbing to sniffing out a tasty snack, all the enrichment activities assist with advancing the well-being of our bears. Your donation will help us to continue to offer a wide variety of activities to provide Joy and Lady with important and healthy stimulus. This also offers our trainers more opportunities to educate visitors on black bear behaviors at the core of our mission.
Bear Habitat Technology Enhancements
The daily well-being of Joy and Lady is enhanced with state-of-the-art technology to assist our caretakers. The use of advanced technology improves the way we monitor, document, and provide the highest quality care. The program is actively pursuing initiatives that include installation of best-in-class software to digitize our current daily activity and feeding logs, two trail cameras that monitor Joy and Lady's nighttime activities, and people counters to monitor daily visitors to the habitat
Bear Program Endowment
This fund helps with the annual operational management of the bear program. The resources generated from this endowment support veterinary care, meals, habitat maintenance, and enrichment activities. All gifts, small or large, support the endowment which allows us to provide the highest quality of care for our bears!
