CINCINNATI (WKRC) – Two orphaned black bear cubs are now living at the newly-completed Bear Ridge.
The seven-month-old female cubs were orphaned in Montana. Cincinnati Zoo keepers went to Montana and brought the cubs back with help from DHL.

They arrived in Bear Ridge early in the morning on September 17 and have been getting acclimated to the indoor habitat and getting to know their new caregivers. They are also receiving full health checks and from the Zoo’s vet staff.

“The team is already crazy about these bears,” said Cincinnati Zoo curator of mammals Kim Scott. “We’re going to provide a great home for them and also hope to inspire guests with the uniqueness of a species that can be found right here in North America.”
The Zoo says the bears are not “releasable”.
