Summary
| Description |
English: Adoption in bears is rare, but this season, we have the privilege of seeing this phenomenon among our Brooks River bears. The two cubs pictured are adopted siblings.
Their mothers, bear 910 and bear 909 are sisters. The two sisters had cubs during different years, but they decided to raise their families together last year. This spring, the families returned together until bear 909 separated from her 2.5-year-old cub. Not quite ready for independence, 909 Jr stayed with her aunt 910 and yearling cousin and eventually was adopted. The new family fishes, travels, and sleeps together, and it seems like the new siblings are getting along just fine.
