PERSONALITY:  On 30th April 2019, Joe took his first steps on the forest floor. With other bear cubs as playmates, he is slowly learning to trust and is developing the skills pertinent to survival in the wild. Joe has adapted well to his new forest home and is making good progress. Joe is currently residing with Romolina. He enjoys patrolling the forest enclosure while Romolina climbs the trees. Joe often exhibits dominant behaviour towards the other group, particularly towards Nano and Noah. He guards the perimeter of his forest enclosure and occasionally stands tall to assert his dominance. In the afternoon, Joe enjoys going to the water pot to splash water on himself and soak his body to cool off.
