Orphaned bear cub saved and headed for rehab then release
A female black bear cub weighing about four pounds and estimated at one month old was rescued near South Lake Summit Road by Marvin Owings Jr and Boomer the dog. It is being cared for by Dr. Beverly Hargus at Animals'R Us and wildlife officials. The cub will be transferred to the NC Wildlife Resources Commission bear rehabilitation facility for care, then moved to a winter facility and released next summer in a site near its original location. The agency notes cubs are often not orphaned, urges contacting officials to confirm orphan status, and outlines a long term rehab program from intake to yearling release.
