California wildlife officials are asking for the public’s help in their search for a timid, orphaned young black bear who escaped its enclosure at Lake Tahoe Wildlife Care.
The bear, who is between 12 and 13 months old, escaped its outdoor play enclosure on Feb. 9 at about 5:30 p.m., authorities said.
Lake Tahoe Wildlife Care said the bear has enough survival skills and “plenty of stored energy to last him a good while in the wild.” The wildlife center said they believe the bear “has found a hiding place and will stay hidden until he gets hungry.”
