Photographs of an orphaned black bear cub has captured the hearts of wildlife rehabbers (and principally everybody who sees it). The San Diego Humane Society lately introduced it has been caring for the youngest black bear cub the group has ever taken in. The 2-month-old orphaned cub arrived in April, underweight and alone.
Campers in California’s Los Padres Nationwide Forest first got here throughout the bear cub. Involved, the Good Samaritans directed California Division of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW) biologists to the cub. After looking for the infant bear’s mom, biologists in the end introduced the infant to the San Diego Humane Society for round the clock care.

A month later, the society has launched images of the infant bear, and so they’re un-bear-ably cute. Whereas the circumstances underneath which this bear entered human care are unhappy, the infant is fortunate to have cautious care and a shiny future again within the wild.
“Due to his age and situation, the cub will probably want to stay in take care of as much as a yr,” the Humane Society mentioned in a press release. “The hope is to in the end return him to the wild, and if one other cub enters care elsewhere in California, CDFW could attempt to pair them—a essential technique to hold orphaned cubs wild and scale back the danger of imprinting on people.”
