About WILD BEAR RESCUE:
The bear pens at Northern Lights Wildlife Shelter are crawling with a record 40 orphaned black bear cubs—climbing, wrestling, and rolling fuzz-balls—each distinct in looks and personality. Rescuing and caring for these cubs are the passion of Angelika Langen, the shelter’s resident "Mamma Bear." While Angelika handles the black bear cubs, her husband Peter runs the world’s only grizzly rehab program. With the help of their son Michael, daughter Tanja, son-in-law Shawn, and a team of driven volunteers, they save sick and injured orphan cubs and build them up for hibernation. In the spring when the cubs re-emerge as big healthy yearlings, the family transports them to remote sites across British Columbia where they are released for their second chance at life in the wild.

00:11Angelica's newest black bear cub has made it through the night but now she's off to the vets
00:16to find out just how sick this cub really is. Once you name them you get more attached. Usually
00:23we don't name them until we're fairly certain that they can survive and we haven't reached that
00:28point with her yet but Amy said that she had thought of a name and I told her I don't
00:33want to
00:33hear it she says but I think wasabi would be a really good name and I kind of went oh
00:37god that's
00:37perfect she certainly has will to live there's no question there but I mean it's a fact of rehab
00:46every animal we get is in some way compromised otherwise they wouldn't come to us they only
00:51come when they're not okay. While Angelica and wasabi head into town back at the shelter lead
00:59volunteer Kim Grouse is dealing with a rescue of her own. This little deer got born on the side of
01:07the
01:07highway mom got hit by a car or a truck and people saw that she was still pregnant and ripped
01:16open the
01:17sack that it was in wrapped it in a towel and brought it to us. Her rescuers named her Friday
01:24after the day
01:25she was born. So it's just an hour and a half old by now we looked her over when she
01:33came in we
01:34don't see any injuries. I was trying to stand now once it's standing we can give it some colostrum it's
01:42kind of like the starter milk. If you feed it right away he doesn't want to stand up it just
01:48goes to
01:48sleep so we just let her go. There we go. Now let's see if she wants to drink.
02:10She's so cute.
