As July 7th was puppy day, July 8th became cub day... After a long cross-country trek from Georgia, 5 new Alaskan Coastal Brown Bears arrived at the Safari. Three males are about a year and 1/2 old. They are living in the huts with the 3 older Brown Bears we have. They will not be able to share the outdoor area until the young bears are thru quarantine and after a long introduction period.
The other 2 cubs are 6 months old, one male and one female. They are living in a separate quarantine area. The male was named Jake by our boss. The rites to name the other bears will be auctioned off to raise money for the Carnivore Department at the Safari's annual fundraiser in August.
