As we watch the cubs grow and thrive in the Wild Enclosure, it is easy to forget how small they were when they first arrived at ABR. We thought it might be fun to revisit some early photos and compare the cubs as they were then and as they are now. The changes are remarkable!
First up is Sugar Bear. Sugar (ABR Cub #197) was the first cub to arrive in 2014. She made her debut on April 4th.

The next cub to arrive at ABR was #198 Sweet Pea Bear. She was rescued and brought from KY on April 12th.

Even though we know that cubs grow fast, it’s amazing to see these “then and now” images.
