Two black bear cubs were found with their mother under a home in the foothills of the San Gabriel Mountains and later orphaned, brought to the Ramona Wildlife Center in Ramona, California, to be raised and reintroduced to the wild. The cubs, who were found in a Monrovia neighborhood earlier this month, were taken to the center after their mother was euthanized following a public incident. The decision was made to raise the cubs without making them habituated to humans. The center developed a special program to ensure they feel more comfortable with their own species and avoid becoming familiar with humans. It is one of only three centers in the state licensed to provide specialized care for black bear kittens. The Department of Fish and Wildlife will decide on the eventual release of the cubed cubs back into the wild once the animals are rehabilitated.
