Black Bear Release #1

On Monday, April 1, the bear releases started – though not as many bears departed today as the staff had planned. Last week, the rehabilitation team attempted to lure the bears out of the trees and into a live trap, so that they could be moved to the Large Mammal Isolation enclosure for easier darting, ear tagging, and loading for release. Unfortunately, none of the bears showed interest – so the team had to attempt to dart them today in yard #1.
