Our first and only bear cub of the winter season came to us on October 30, 2005. She was named "Spooks" in honour of her arrival the day before Halloween. Spooks was found in Coquitlam by conservation officers, crying by her mother's body at the side of the road where she was hit and killed. Spooks was scared, lonely, weak, and underweight - only 22 lbs.
Five months later, Spooks is a happier, healthy 80 lb cub who is looking forward to being released sometime in the spring. For now, she is content with shredding logs to find grubs and playing with fish in her pool.

Critter Care currently has three interns
Verity Catt has travelled the furthest to be with us. She is from Dover, England and plans to stay until August.
Graham Reinhart, from Salem, Massachusetts, has already been here for over five months and plans on staying until August too.
Anita Cassidy, who has been with us for a month so far, is from Cherryville, BC. She will be staying all through baby season.
