Cape Breton park raising money for cage for bear cub found wandering the highway
WHYCOCOMAGH, N.S. — An orphaned black bear cub found wandering alone and pneumonia-stricken on a Cape Breton highway has been nursed back to health.
The one-year-old cub, dubbed “Little Bear,” was found near Whycocomagh, N.S., last May, weighing only seven pounds.
Two local men brought it into Two Rivers Wildlife Park, and although the sub is undersize, it has made a full recovery, park employee Mike Timmons said Monday.
It has outgrown its 150-square-metre pen, but Timmons said it can’t be released to the wild: “He’s just too used to humans.”
