Orphaned and injured black bear cubs that were in the care of the North Island Wildlife Recovery Centre in Errington, B.C., are being released back into the wild.
"The cubs have been a part of all our lives for the last year," says Derek Downes, the animal care supervisor at the centre.
The process includes sedating each bear one at a time. They are then given a physical exam and fitted with a radio collar to track their movements. The collar will eventually fall off after their first year of freedom.
