Tamarack, an orphaned bear cub whose front legs were burned in a wildfire in Northern California last year, was being treated at a wildlife shelter.
However, Tamarack escaped from the facility, and the staff was concerned about its safety, but recently, a trail camera installed in the forest captured Tamarack.
Tamarack wasn’t alone. A toy bear was with Tamarack. Tamarack enjoyed playing in the water while holding the toy tightly.
Tamarack, a bear cub with burns on its legs caused by a wildfire, escapes
Last July, a large-scale wildfire broke out in northern California, USA. The area burned was 175,000 hectares, approximately 2.8 times the size of Tokyo’s 23 wards, making it the third largest area in the state’s history.
Tamarack, a 6-month-old male bear cub that was left orphaned after being engulfed in a fire with burns on its front legs, was rescued and is being treated at a wildlife shelter.
Check out the tamarack. I was with my toy friends.
There was concern for Tamarack’s safety as she was alone and injured, but she was finally captured.
Wildlife enthusiast Toosie Thiersch spotted the tamarack on a trail camera he set up in the woods near his home.
And he wasn’t alone. He was playing in a large puddle with a toy bear he had found somewhere and had become good friends with.
Tamarack, now one year old, seems to have overcome the hardships and is doing well. Her legs seem to be moving properly, and she’s getting bigger and growing.
And so are my friends who provide emotional support.
I don’t know if he was able to meet his mother or if he made other bear friends, but I’m glad to see him in good health.
Now that I know where it is, I’m sure the trail camera will be able to record Tamarack’s future.
