Four rescued bear cubs from Alaska and Montana find a new home at The Wildlife Conservation Society’s Bronx Zoo .
The three brown bear cubs are siblings and originally from Baranof Island, Alaska. The orphaned cubs were rescued by the Alaska Department of Fish and Game and temporarily held at Fortress of The Bear, an education and rescue center for bears in Sitka, Alaska.
The young grizzly bear is a male from Glacier National Park in Montana. After being rescued by park rangers, he was kept for a few days at Washington State University’s Bear Center before coming to WCS’s Bronx Zoo.
“All four bear cubs are healthy and adjusting quickly to their new surroundings,” said Jim Breheny, WCS Senior Vice President of Living Institutions and Director of the Bronx Zoo. “We are happy to provide a home for these beautiful animals that would not have been able to survive in the wild without their mothers.”
