Lily - of Cranbrook Valley

black bear cub

This 14 week old orphaned black bear cub was found wandering around the Bow river area of Cranbrook, B.C. by a caring individual who took the initiative to do something about it. 


There was no sign of her mother and it is yet to be determined just what happened to her. It was obvious this little girl would not last very long without her mothers’ guidance and nourishment.


With the help of a few caring people, this baby was bundled up and put in a kennel, and flown to Critter Care Wildlife Society where she will receive that much-needed nourishment and initial surrogate mother's attention.


She is a brave little girl who knows she’s a bear and is trying very hard to be a grown-up bear and with this attitude she will be.
