Awwww....Look at those beautiful healthy black bear cubs. Ones a boy and the other a girl. Getting vaccines, to keep them from getting rabies and other contagious diseases. I'm glad that this group respected the animals enough to keep them warm while taking blood and vaccinating them; And it's a pleasure as well to see that they put them directly back the same way that they found not just the baby cubs, but the momma bear as well. Such a shame that brown and black bears are becoming extinct; Which is why it's great to know that there are people working with wildlife programs like the one in this video, to assure that they continue to live on. HATS OFF TO EACH AND EVERY SINGLE ONE OF YOU, FOR TAKING THE TIME TO HELP AND REASSURE THAT THE BROWN AND BLACK BEAR NOT GO EXTINCT..........❤👏👏🫶🫶👏👏

They should be treating the deer for ticks! They used to! Black bears are doing well, but remember, they kill humans too! If u mess with a cub, Momma is coming for you & can't out run her! This was a very controlled encounter.
