Bears Release From Cage Marks End of Study Moment
In George Washington National Forest a weakened anesthetic left a black bear groggy as she crawled from her cage with three cubs.

The mother, born in February near Gauley Ridge, now weighs about nine pounds per cub, and researchers note the bears’ gentle yet feisty nature as they head toward a wilderness release and future tracking.
