"Over there!" a child would shout, pointing frantically in the direction of an undiscovered egg. The exercise was designed to stimulate the animals and to entertain and educate visitors to the Trailside Museum and Zoo, said Park Ranger Jennifer Verstraete. "These bears are predominantly in1 irn ii vegetarian," she said, "and eggs would be a normal part of their diet" In addition to the colored eggs, the rangers enclosed a variety of other snacks into a cardboard box, which they sealed with honey.

Children and adults watched as the three bears dismantled the box in pursuit of the vegetarian treasure inside. "This is more fun than usual," said Maria MacArthur of Tomkins Cove. "We're regulars up here, and usually the bears just lie around." With wide-eyed fascination, her 6-year-old son, Ian, noted that the bears "tore that box open in about 15 minutes." "They've missed a few," he added, dutifully pointing to a number of eggs still in sight, "and one of the eggs rolled down into the pit (surrounding the pen area)." While demonstrating a good deal of interest in the bears' hunt for eggs, Ian confessed that these particular animals were not actually his favorite at the zoo. "I guess those reptiles (are)," he said. Before a mild rain began to dissipate the crowd shortly after noon, some adults tried to come up with a few "bear" puns.

It was noted, for example, that some of the children in attendance could "bear-ly" see over the screen around the pen area. The docents explained that their job was to relate the "bear" facts, noting that for all of their 300 pounds, the Staff photoJaroalav Waznje A black bear examines an Easter egg before snapping it up at the Easter egg hunt for the bears who live near the Trailside Museum in Bear Mountain State Park.
