Critter Care Wildlife Society Update.
We have some exciting news to share from Jenna Kuncewicz, our Senior Wildlife Supervisor. Currently, we have approximately 200 animals in recovery, including six fawns.
Aspen the beaver is doing well, and Jenna will share more about her journey soon. We also have three lively baby Douglas squirrels starting to show their natural energetic behavior.
This year, we’ve seen an incredible influx of baby raccoons, all of which are progressing well and have been moved to outdoor enclosures in preparation for their eventual release.
In a rare occurrence, we’re caring for a red squirrel from Taylor, BC.
Red squirrels are about the same size as the Douglas squirrel, but are rusty-red in appearance, with a white belly. The Douglas squirrel, is redish-drown in colour and has a yellowish belly.
Earlier this year, we successfully rehabilitated and released 15 bears back into the wild.
