The bears were released back into the San Bernardino mountains after a nearly year-long rehabilitation program at the Ramona Wildlife Center
Two orphaned Black bears have been released back into the wild, ending their nearly year-long rehabilitation at the San Diego Humane Society’s Ramona Wildlife Center, according to officials. The brother bears were rescued last July by California Department of Fish and Wildlife after their mother had died in the San Bernardino mountains and it was determined the two undersized, 5-month-old cubs could not survive on their own.
Once the specialists were comfortable with the cubs' recovery, the brothers were placed together in a large enclosure that mimicked their natural environment with native plants, officials said. The enclosure allowed the bears to learn how to forage and eat a mixture of food — including fruits, vegetables, nuts, peanut butter and bear chow — daily. An Escondido family also donated a 467-pound, homegrown pumpkin to the wildlife center for the bears to play with and eat inside their enclosure.
