Orphan bear cubs being cared for at Lynnwood animal shelter
By Associated PressMILL CREEK, Wash. (AP) - Two orphan bear cubs caught at a campground are being raised by a Lynnwood animal shelter. State wildlife agents easily captured the cubs Monday night by leaving out doughnuts, which brought them down from a tree at the Denny Creek campground near Snoqualmie Pass. The mother had been struck by a car Saturday and killed. The cubs were transferred to the PAWS shelter where they will spend up to a year in rehab and isolation so they can be released into the wild. A veterinarian says the 40-pound male and 25-year-old female were uninjured, but hungry. Wildlife agent Kim Chandler says the problem was caused by people at the campground leaving unsecured food that attracted bears. Copyright 2008 The Associated Press. |
