Baby Boy Bear
Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission called about 3 hours ago (8 PM), and said they have a young boy bear which they need to place with us.  They wanted to deliver him here tonight.  It's unbelievable how fast you can move when it's necessary!  I called Sue, Christina, Morgen (and her husband), and a new volunteer Maddy.  
They all arrived, and believe it or not, we

Bears Hibernation Ending Print E-mail

Mar 16, 2010:  (Posted By: Gail)  Now that the weather has resumed 'bearable' conditions, the bears of EARS are coming out of their semi-hibernation mode. They're all splashing around in their pools, and are back to eating like crazy. The oldest bear (Mama Bear) is moving a little slowly, but with plenty of food and room to roam, she'll be fine and dandy. The youngest, Ruby is even feeling the effects of warmer temperatures.

Trees Down-Cougars OK Print E-mail
Jan 19, 2010:  (Posted By: Gail)  On Sunday morning I discovered a huge oak tree had fallen on one of the two cougar enclosures. Even though there was a big gap, where the wire had split, both cougars were still enclosed. Sue was here, and we called on the cell phones, for volunteers to come here to assist. Morgen and I entered the enclosure (with the cougars) and we wove dog leashes and ropes to close the gap, which could have effected their escape. We then forced the two cougars into their lockdown area. I then called our FFWCC officer, and informed her of what had happened. All is well now, however it was a pretty bad experience. All this means we'll need funds to repair the damage. Of course, ideally, we would have ALL the oak trees "topped", so the enormous weight would not cause them to fall.

EARS Welcomes Mama Bear Print E-mail

Jan 05, 2010:  (Posted By: Gail)  Mama Bear Update:  Mama Bear is now here, safe and sound at the sanctuary.  Mama's eyes are wise beyond words.  She is old, yet she has won my heart as no other animal has been able to do before now.  Mama Bear is old, wise, weary, smart, wonderful, beautiful, and she has been imprisoned her entire life, for having committed no crime whatsoever.  We will do whatever we can to raise funds for an environment in which Mama Bear can live out a life with dignity. 

Jan. 01, 2010:  (Posted By: Gail) I received a call today from the place in Georgia, at 2 PM.  They said Mama Bear had entered our transport enclosure, and they had her locked down.  Well, since it is New Year's Eve, I thought, "how in the world will I ever pull this off?"  I called two volunteers, and I absolutely didn't give them a choice.  I and the two volunteers drove all the way back up there (4 hours one way), and we brought Mama Bear back home.
