(April 20, 2025) \u2014 A young black bear cub found alone and critically ill in El Dorado County last December is now thriving under the care of wildlife experts, marking a heartening turnaround in a story that began with uncertainty and concern.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"391\" data-end=\"669\">Discovered near Coloma on December 9, 2024, the cub\u2014now known as Cub 24-3926\u2014was emaciated, dehydrated, and suffering from severe skin and ear infections. He was immediately taken to <strong data-start=\"574\" data-end=\"613\">Gold Country Wildlife Rescue (GCWR)<\/strong> in Auburn, where staff initiated intensive treatment.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"672\" data-end=\"872\">&#8220;At this time, the cub\u2019s health remains very delicate,&#8221; GCWR said in a December 2024 statement. &#8220;A successful outcome is not guaranteed&#8230; but we are committed to doing everything possible for him.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"874\" data-end=\"1262\">Over the weeks that followed, the cub began to stabilize. Though GCWR limited human interaction to preserve his wild instincts, the animal\u2019s personality slowly began to emerge. He curiously explored his enclosure, splashed in a kiddie pool, and tested out a hammock made from retired firehoses\u2014all part of his enrichment program designed to build physical strength and mental stimulation.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"1264\" data-end=\"1622\">In a major milestone, Cub 24-3926 was moved in March to <strong data-start=\"1320\" data-end=\"1344\">\u201cSummit University,\u201d<\/strong> GCWR\u2019s expansive outdoor rehabilitation space specifically designed for black bears. The controlled environment gives recovering cubs a safe, naturalistic setting to adapt to wild conditions\u2014complete with fresh air, scent-based enrichment, and indirect exposure to other bears.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"1624\" data-end=\"1842\">\u201cCub 24-3926 explored his new space briefly before settling into his culvert den, while his new neighbors were seen sniffing curiously along the shared walls,\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"1624\" data-end=\"1842\">the organization shared in a March 25 social media post.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"1844\" data-end=\"2040\">The facility&#8217;s hands-off approach is key to preparing cubs for the wild. <strong>\u201cHe remained curious but cautious\u2014just as a wild bear should be,\u201d<\/strong> said one GCWR volunteer familiar with the cub\u2019s progress.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"2042\" data-end=\"2425\">The final decision about the cub\u2019s future rests with the <strong data-start=\"2099\" data-end=\"2152\">California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW)<\/strong>. Wildlife officials will assess whether the bear can safely return to his natural habitat or must be placed in a long-term sanctuary. Rehabilitation goals include physical health, appropriate fear of humans, and demonstrated survival behavior such as foraging and denning.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"2427\" data-end=\"2599\">If released, the bear will join a growing number of successfully rehabilitated cubs returned to California\u2019s wilderness through collaborative efforts between GCWR and CDFW.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"2601\" data-end=\"2820\">\u201cEach bear is unique, and we take great care to evaluate their progress individually,\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"2601\" data-end=\"2820\">a spokesperson for CDFW stated.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"2601\" data-end=\"2820\">\u201cOur goal is always to give these animals the best possible chance at a wild, self-sustaining life.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>For more information, visit <a href=\"https:\/\/goldcountrywildliferescue.org\/\" target=\"_new\" rel=\"noopener\" data-start=\"871\" data-end=\"1022\">Gold Country Wildlife Rescue<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Rescued Black Bear Cub Thrives in El Dorado County Wildlife Rehab, Faces Future Release Decision<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":7929,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"jnews-multi-image_gallery":[],"jnews_single_post":{"subtitle":"From Near Death to New Beginnings\u2014Young Bear Cub\u2019s Journey Nears a Turning Point in the Sierra Foothills","format":"standard","override":[{"template":"7","parallax":"1","layout":"no-sidebar-narrow","sidebar":"default-sidebar","second_sidebar":"default-sidebar","sticky_sidebar":"1","share_position":"float","share_float_style":"share-normal","show_share_counter":"1","show_view_counter":"1","show_featured":"1","show_post_meta":"1","show_post_author":"1","show_post_author_image":"1","show_post_date":"1","post_date_format":"default","post_date_format_custom":"Y\/m\/d","show_post_category":"1","post_reading_time_wpm":"300","post_calculate_word_method":"str_word_count","show_zoom_button":"0","zoom_button_out_step":"2","zoom_button_in_step":"3","show_post_tag":"1","show_popup_post":"1","number_popup_post":"1","show_author_box":"1","show_post_related":"1","show_inline_post_related":"1"}],"image_override":[{"single_post_thumbnail_size":"crop-500","single_post_gallery_size":"crop-500"}],"trending_post_position":"meta","trending_post_label":"Trending","sponsored_post_label":"Sponsored by","disable_ad":"0"},"jnews_primary_category":[],"jnews_social_meta":[],"jnews_override_counter":{"view_counter_number":"0","share_counter_number":"0","like_counter_number":"0","dislike_counter_number":"0"},"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-7928","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-government"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.3 -
