Bear Cub

[MamaMo]

I had a visitor last night at work. Around 6-7 week old female bear cub. She weighed about 3 lb. I am friends with a local DNR wildlife officer that currently has 3 baby bears. Their den got dozed out on a job site and the mother ran off. They waited for a day and she didn't come back. Today they are being put in the wild with new moms. I had never seen one that little. It was a great surprise for the girl I was working with. I have worked with her for 5 years. It was her last day at work and she had never seen a bear except maybe at a game farm. Can we say it was a photo op for the customers that came in.

1. The DNR officers son Sam that brought the cub to see us.

Waaaaay cute lil' critter!! Quite frankly I'm surprised that the mama never returned. You would think that the maternal instinct would be stronger than that...

Oh how cute. Amazing how little they are at this point and how big they get later. Thanks for the pics.

That is one luckie little cub. Progress for us--war zone for them.

In this case they dozed out the den she woke up and run. They told me the mother probably didn't even know she had them. They give birth while asleep for the winter. Bear have to wake up and find their young. They are going to put activated charcoal on the cub then Vicks on the new mothers nose so all she smells is vicks. They will traquilize the new mother then do this. I definely have been learning about them. This is the second time something has happen in the last two weeks. A 15 oz cub was brought home by a dog. They had to find a new mother for it too. It is a wonder that the sow didn't wake up on the dog.

Here I have gone to the Smokies and Yellowstone to see a real bear, and all I had to do was ride to West Virginia.

Who would have guessed.

I hope the little guy does well.
