On the morning of July 31st, Kentucky Wildlife Officer Tristan Curry brought another orphaned cub to ABR for care. The little female was the only one in her family to survive after a car killed her mother and three siblings.Bear #318 is nicknamed Marmalade Bear and her exam at UTCVM was good. X-rays didn’t reveal any broken bones or other, unseen injuries. She is small, weighing just 10.6 pounds, but her mother was feeding four cubs, so that is not surprising.

Marmalade is in the Hartley House, taking worm meds, and will soon be out in a Wild Enclosure.

It’s hard to keep track, but as of now ABR is caring for fourteen cubs and two yearlings! All of these bears are doing well. Stay tuned.
