Today we look back to 2018, when a tiny cub who was nicknamed Viola Bear was orphaned in Kentucky and brought to ABR. She weighed just 4.4 pounds when she arrived in May of 2018.

When she was released and went home to Kentucky we wondered if she looked for balls hanging from trees. To see the video, click here
