Yesterday this little cub came from San Felipe. She is tiny as you can see. We will be working hard to get her up to weight. We don’t know what happened to mom, but she was on her own. Once in a better weight, we will begin to introduce her to Helen so they will have a playmate. For now, she is in our critical care space. Her grocery bill will be quite high so we are asking for help! Please consider donating. If you could also please share!

Also, tickets are on sale for our annual Bear Dinner co-hosted Pajarito Environmental Education Center on Aug. 28. Please come out and learn what you can do to help the bears this year and going forward! If you are unable to attend the dinner, please come out to Bear Fest on Aug 29!
