Rescued Bear Cub in North Carolina Thrives at Wildlife Refuge

After a distressing encounter where it was pulled from a tree for photos, a bear cub is now recovering well in a wildlife rehabilitation center.

A bear cub, initially distressed after being forcibly removed from its habitat for selfies, shows significant recovery in a North Carolina wildlife refuge.
The cub, along with another orphaned bear, is engaging well with care routines and is expected to be released back into the wild this fall.
Wildlife officials continue to search for the cub's sibling, who remains missing after the incident.
Experts urge the public to avoid disturbing wildlife, emphasizing that wild mothers often leave their young temporarily as they forage.
The incident has sparked widespread discussion on wildlife challenges and the importance of respecting animal habitats.
