Bentley and Dandelion, the Polk County twins, are home for the holidays. They were released into their wild home on December 17th. Here are a few photos of the pair just before and during the release.

The twins slept on the platform in their wild enclosure, a night or two before their release. They both have fat tummies!

There goes Bentley!
And there goes Dandelion!

As always, we wish these big little bears a happy and healthy, long life in the wild, where they belong. May they avoid any further contact with humans, and stay safe. Goodbye and good luck, Bentley and Dandelion Bear!
