Submitted by Editor on Tue, 02/19/2013 - 9:41amTwo black bear cubs confiscated from a suspected poacher have been returned to the wilderness. The cubs spent seven months at a Lake Tahoe wildlife center with almost no human contact and now they are big enough to make it on their own. Here is the story of their release only on ABC7 News.

Lake Tahoe wildlife center is busy with bears

The center has more orphaned bear cubs than ever before. The good news is, they are all healthy and will be returned to the wild. ABC7 News took a look at what it takes to give a baby bear a second chance at life.
You may remember some bear cubs we showed you last summer when they were confiscated in Nevada County, taken from a man who was trying to sell them. One little cub was found near Alpine Meadows Ski Resort. Her mother was illegally killed by a hunter using dogs.

The people who run the center are doing their best to keep up — they've got some great success stories — but the center needs a new home.
At Lake Tahoe Wildlife Care, run by Cheryl and Tom Millham, a sick bobcat recently arrived, and there's a great horned owl recovering from a broken wing. The owl had surgery and now the challenge is to keep him calm and discourage him from flapping his wing while it mends.
