🥳 Happy birthday to all the baby black bears out there currently being born in their winter dens!
January is generally the month when black bear mothers give birth, and they will stay inside the den with their cubs until about April of their first year. These cubs will remain with their mother for around 16 months before they become independent.

🐻 Even though bear cubs are incredibly cute, make sure to give them lots of space if you ever see one in the wild. When a mother black bear feels threatened, her primary instinct is to protect her family. She will typically guide her cubs to the safety of a tree and stand guard at its base. If she uses vocalizations, it means she is stressed and is communicating a request for space. Ignoring this request may cause her to take a step toward you—an effort to push you further away from her cubs.

Help protect our wild neighbours. Protect old-growth bear dens and practice respectful and safe coexistence both in the wild and in your community.
