Black Bear yearling #17-0127 update

Black Bear yearling #16-0127 [Pink/Yellow] did well in the days following his admission. The bear's respiratory wheezes improved and, by February 24, had cleared. The bear was eating well and gained a kilogram [2.2 lbs], so the veterinary team decided to move the bear to a transition area #2 in the Bear Complex on February 25, to be with Double Green and Double Yellow bears.

Critter Cam viewers soon saw that the tiny bear managed to get into the main part of the complex with the other yearling bears later that same day. Nearly all of the bears were shifted to Bear yard #2 on Sunday, and Pink/Yellow was trapped and moved back into the transition area. Once again, the bear managed to slip into the main yard later that day. The team will leave the small bear in the two connected yards and will monitor via Critter Cam.
