Cub #206, Carter Bear has made slow but gradual progress since he was admitted to ABR.  Here are a group of photos taken on his second day in the Cub Nursery.

The curators gave him a couple of stuffed friends to keep him company.  This is common practice for a single cub, as bear cubs are accustomed to being part of a litter, with litter mates for company.

He receives a good variety of foods.  He has a good appetite, having been on the verge of starvation as well as severely dehydrated when he was found.  His food looks very tempting!

As the next pictures show, he is an enthusiastic eater – and that’s a very good thing!

Carter eats eagerly.

He really gets into his food!

That was enough excitement for this little bear.  Time for a nap!
