What happened to the mother of a tiny orphaned black bear that was rushed to the North Island Wildlife Recovery Centre over the weekend is a mystery. But her cub is considered one lucky bruin.
Go to: Baby bear found orphaned near Chemainus finds comfort in 'same size' stuffed animal (cheknews.ca) to read the full story and watch a video of the tiny cub.
DID YOU KNOW? Small cubs are fed a special formula containing yogurt, cottage cheese, applesauce, eggs, milk for bears, puppy food and nutritional supplements. Fruits and vegetables are added to the diet as the cub grows.
The cub will stay at NIWRA until its release to the wild where it belongs in 2025.
