Bear Cub Brothers Separated For Months Can't Stop Hugging Each Other | The Dodo Saving The Wild

[@pawsvideo]

We've received some questions asking why the bears were separated in the first place. These two bears came to PAWS days apart, both severely injured. To attend to their specific medical needs, we had to keep them separated. This allowed us to ensure medication (which is delivered in food) was given to the intended bear and other important considerations for individualized and safe care. When both were pronounced medically stable by our veterinary staff, we followed our usual bear introduction protocol-first installing a howdy door so they could see and smell each other and then lifting the door for the full introduction.

[@elisadach4887]

Thank you for explaining this. Perhaps pinning the message to the top of the comments would help.

[@cw2497]

Thank you PAWS for rehabilitating the bear cubs!!!

Hello, how are you doing? Hope you’re having a wonderful day!

[@pathologicaldoubt]

Do you ever fully heal from such an injury?

[@nancyfenity9817]

@@pathologicaldoubt With the appropriate medical care the body heals. It took months. I was fortunate to not need skin grafts. I was lucky to live where one of the top burn centers in my part of the country is located. These little bears would have received weeks to months of care, depending on how severe their burns were. First and second degree burns would heal fairly quickly and not require the repeated debridement and rebandaging that third degree burns require. I hope their injuries were superficial and they are back in the wild living their best lives.

Wild animals have a strong sense of self preservation. Even if that means abandoning her cubs. The mother bear probably fled the fire and the little cubs just couldn't keep up. There's a good chance that the mother is still out there.

While I can’t tell you for sure where they’ll be released since there was a fire in the area, PAWS does try to release animals in the same place they were originally found. If the damage is severe to the area, they may try to find somewhere a little further but it’s likely they’ll at least be released somewhere that is familiar to them.
