Eight Cubs Now - Appalachian Bear Rescue

Since the release of Marigold and Bluebelle Bear, the number of cubs at ABR is down to eight. They were separated according to family groups and now are housed in four of the enclosures.

Enclosure #4 has the three cubs that will spend the winter – the two Louisiana cubs (Beignet and Boudreaux) and the South Carolina cub, Jessamine. The curators are trying to entice these cubs to get ready to go to sleep and are adding more straw to the enclosure and the Acclimation Pen.

A lot more straw has been added near the culvert dens.

Beignet has a look that says “You can’t make me go to sleep.”

All three of the cubs notice the changes and additions to their enclosure.

Wait until they see the additions to the Acclimation Pen!

Over in Enclosure #3, it is night and the triplets are asleep in their usual daybed.

One of the Triplets went into the Acclimation Pen to forage for snacks.

A Triplet foraged out in the Wild Enclosure.

Our next post will show the other cubs. All of these bears will be released very soon. Stay tuned.
