Today we have some images to share that were taken from a short video sent to us by the Kentucky wildlife officers. They took these as the cubs were released in their home state. It had snowed there, too. Fortunately, our cubs had experienced snow so it wasn’t completely foreign to them.

First, we see Harlan – but you have to look carefully. He exited the transport carrier and was off so fast he was a blur!

Ferdinand wasn’t quite so fast, but remember that he was our first cub, having arrived in April. He had scarcely known any life before ABR.

We wish both of the Kentucky boys healthy, long lives in the wild. Please stay away from roads, cars, and humans!
