Cubs Being Cubs - Appalachian Bear Rescue

The ten cubs at ABR are all doing what cubs do – and at this time of year they are doing a lot of foraging and eating. Here’s a recap of the cubs in Wild Enclosure #2. There are actually six cubs in that enclosure, but it seems that more often than not only five show up in a photo. Whether it is the same one missing or not is hard to tell.

All of them are sleeping in groups on the platform, and are pointed out by the arrows.

Four of them had a morning meeting while one foraged. Where is the sixth cub?

The meeting didn’t last long. Foraging continued. Cub 6 is still missing.

In Wild Enclosure #3 a Beary Triplet is still fascinated and puzzled by the wrapped tree.

One of the Triplets decides to take a dip in the Cubby Pool.

In the Hartley House, Beignet Bear had fun destroying a “tent” of branches that Curator Coy had made for her.

Beignet sniffed and rubbed in the fragrant evergreen branches.

As we can see, all of the cubs are doing well. Thanks to the creativity and efforts of the curators, we’re glad to see Beignet accepting her convalescence. Hope her cooperation continues.
