Both the Tennessee Wildlife Resources Company (TWRA) and Appalachian Bear Rescue quickly dispatched rescuers to the scene, where they thoroughly eliminated 3 small cubs. But in the commotion, the mama bear fled, leaving rescuers to believe they ‘d possibly be raising the cubs by themselves.

” Reunion with their mother is beside impossible,” rescuers composed at the on at the time. “It’s likely mother bear was responsible for the gas leak that began the chain of events that caused her three cubs arriving at [Appalachian Bear Rescue]”.

Rescuers next best option was to bottle feed the cubs till they were old enough to be placed with a foster bear household, although this method also includes some dangers. “No matter, she can not continue to use the crawl space as a den,” rescuers explained, “and the cubs are also young to be moved around in the cold.”.

However the mom bear amazed everyone by returning to the house the following day in search of her cubs, whom rescuers had called Jasmine, Jeannie, and Magic Bear.

” On February 16, 2021, we wrote in reference to the three little cubs: Reunion with their mother is beside impossible,” rescuers claimed, recalling their earlier Facebook comments. “We’re happy we really did not claim it was flat-out impossible, though everything pointed to it being so. With all the humans going in and out of the crawl space, we made sure she ‘d never ever come back. But she did. And we enjoy she did. Learning never ends.”.

This unexpected turn of events led rescuers to develop a new strategy. Instead of attempting to place the cubs in foster bear families, they asked the homeowner to allow the bear family to suffer winter with each other in their makeshift “den.” Fortunately, the homeowner said ‘yes.’.

” The best place for any young wildlife is with its mom, clearly,” TWRA rescuer Dan Gibbs explained in a video clip detailing this rescue procedure. Rescuers thought the mother bear will take her growing family back out into the wild upon the arrival of spring.

” She’s a great size and she was certainly ready to come and get her young,” another rescuer, Coy Blair, explained in the following video clip. Indeed, the mom bear rapidly grabbed each of her little cub as rescuers passed them via an open vent introducing her designated “den.”.

We’ve never ever heard of a bear nursing cubs beneath a home before, however we’re glad the homeowner agreed to this special living situation in order to maintain this bear family with each other!
