Don’t try to approach Seiad, advise wildlife officials who are looking for him.
A young bear who reportedly dislikes people escaped a pen and is thought to be on the loose in the South Lake Tahoe area, wildlife officials say.Seiad, a 13-month-old male black bear, got out of the outdoor enclosure at Lake Tahoe Wildlife Care around 5:30 p.m. on Thursday, Feb. 9, the California Department of Fish and Wildlife reported.
Apparently orphaned, he was found severely underweight in Siskiyou County last year and was brought to the Tahoe center in December. Since then, he has doubled his weight and is now at 50 pounds and healthy. He was being prepared for eventual release back into the wild. The wildlife center said Seiad is skittish and dislikes people, and he is not described as dangerous — but he is said to be too young to weather a Tahoe winter, so officials are asking for the public’s help in locating him.Because he is likely to flee, people are discouraged from actively searching for him. Anyone who sees him is asked to try to keep him in sight while they call the wildlife agency at 358-2917 or Lake Tahoe Wildlife Care at 577-2273.
