For the first time in its 40-year history, the USDA-APHIS Wildlife Services (WS) National Wildlife Research Center’s (NWRC) field station in Millville, UT, is home to more than just coyotes. Recently, two orphaned black bear cubs arrived at the facility as part of a collaborative effort with the Utah Division of Wildlife Resources (Division) to rehabilitate the cubs.
It’s not uncommon for the Division to take in orphaned bears in hopes of rehabilitating them and releasing them back into the wild. However, it can be difficult to find an appropriate facility to house bears.
