An orphaned black bear from Ochre River was rescued after spending 2 days alone in a tree.
Some concerned people saw the cub and notified authorities.
Conservation staff caught and took the cub, which should have been hibernating, to Black Bear Rescue Manitoba.
The tiny 10.5 to 11-month-old cub weighs in at 18 pounds, which is the size of the cubs at the rescue in the spring when they were 3 or 4 months old.
Cubs its age with a mother typically way more than double, at 40-50 lbs.
In a Facebook post, the organization says they believe the cub was orphaned earlier in the summer and it’s amazing he survived so long on his own.
They add that aside from being thin and dehydrated, the cub is doing well.
