New Bears!

On Saturday, June 6, LTWC received two new bear cubs. Like the two cubs we got on May 29, these are probably about five months old and are also orphans. Unlike the two cubs we already have, however, these two are locals, from the Carnelian Bay area of Lake Tahoe.

Although they've been through an ordeal, they appear to be healthy. They're currently in LTWC's Bear Cage (where the Six-Pack resided last year), but after they're examined, they may be able to join our other two cubs, which would mean a four pack on webcam!

Below are a few photos of the new cubs after they first arrived at LTWC yesterday.

This is the first cub, who arrived a few hours before his/her sibling.

The second cub, arriving at LTWC.

After getting out of the travel crate and into LTWC's Bear Cage, the second cub quickly found the highest, darkest hiding spot he/she could. However, the siblings soon found each other after we left them alone.

Poor babies, they look sad and scared! So glad they are in such a good place where they can heal, recover and grow. Thanks for the pics Karen :)

I'm happy to do it Linda! I just wish the photos had come out a little better, but it was a pretty dark and dreary day here yesterday (plus, I was trying to just snap the pics and get the heck outta there so the cubs could have some peace!).

I'm sure we'll have some news on how they're doing in the next couple of days; in the meantime, I imagine that they're happy to have had some good food and rest.

Hi Karen, Many thank yous for taking and posting the pictures. Thank you for letting us know they had not found each other when these pictures were taken. I am guessing they were much happier then.
