Another bear cub has arrived at ABR – #276, nicknamed Cherry Bear, was rescued from the same area as #274 and #275. Here is the story of her rescue and trip to ABR.
Cub #276 (Cherry Bear) in the cherry tree just before her rescue.
TWRA Officer Sexton rescued Cherry Bear.
Cherry Bear went to UTCVM for her checkup.
She weighed 21 pounds.
She was examined thoroughly and pronounced healthy.
Her discolored teeth were the result of poor diet.
She has reddish fur in her ears.
Proof that she is a female – the “ponytail” beneath her tail.
Cherry Bear traveled to ABR. She did not look happy.
Her claws are quite formidable!
Since she came from the same area as the two male cubs, it is almost certain that she is the sister of Ruff and Tumble Bear. She will be kept apart from them until she finishes her worm medication. Then they can be reunited. Welcome to Cherry Bear!
