As you know, all of the (yearling) cubs in our care were born in January of 2009.  But on Thursday, May 6th, we admitted our first spring cub, born in January 2010.   He is from Virginia, and his weight is estimated at 6-8 pounds.  Lisa Stewart, our curator, has this to say about him: “Our little fella arrived today from VA…what a character!!  He stands on his hind legs and stretches as tall as possible…I think he wants to grow up to be a grizzly bear!!”  We will post a photo of him as soon as Lisa is able to take one, but right now her time is very much taken as she cares for him as well as the other 15 bears.   Now that this year’s cubs are starting to arrive, our needs for donations for food continue.  Thank you for your continuing support.
