Rescued Bear Cub Thrives Thanks to Caretakers in Bear Costumes

Rescued Bear Cub Receives Unique Care in San Diego: A two-month-old black bear cub, found weak and alone in the Los Padres National Forest, is receiving specialized care at the San Diego Humane Society. Wildlife officials, unable to locate the cub's mother, transported it to the Humane Society where it is thriving. "The cub is doing remarkably well," said a spokesperson for the San Diego Humane Society. To prevent the cub from bonding with humans, caretakers are using a unique method: wearing bear costumes during feeding and enrichment sessions. This helps mimic maternal behavior and ensures the cub's successful reintroduction to the wild, planned for a year from now. The cub's story highlights the dedication of wildlife professionals and the importance of conservation efforts.
