Black Bear cubs of 2017 update

The five Black Bear cubs are doing well at the Wildlife Center; all are eating and gaining weight! The cubs are currently housed in two zinger crates in the Center's outdoor metals complex, where they can have supervised playtime while smelling and hearing the outdoors.

On April 27, three of the cubs were brought into the clinic so that the veterinary team could anesthetize them, take radiographs, and ear tag them. Fortunately for Hospital Cam viewers, the cubs woke up from anesthesia while on cam!
