Another cub who was released on January 8, 2024 was Nugget Bear. She was part of the Big Four in Wild Enclosure #1. Nugget was released into the Great Smoky Mountains National Park near Happy Valley, where she had been found. Enjoy this remembrance of Nugget Bear.
It was a beautiful sight, when she ran off into the woods to continue her life as a free, wild bear. Enjoy this video and remember – there is one more to come!
