A male bear cub picked up by a hiker along the Santiam River Trail has been sent to a wildlife rehabilitation facility to continue its growth, accord- ing to Colin Gillin, the ODFW state wildlife veterinarian who has been tak- ing care of the cub with his veterinary staff. A second bear cub, a female, arrived at ODFW’s Corvallis office on Thursday, March 30, after its den near Myrtle Creek was disturbed by a brush-clearing operation. The mother bear was believed to have abandoned the bear cub due to the continuing dis- turbance, and it was determined that the mother bear was unlikely to return. Both bear cubs are of similar age, between three and four months old; the male cub weighed 4.5 pounds and the female weighed 6 pounds. The male bear cub was treated for mild pneumo- nia by ODFW veterinarian Julia Burco and several other staff, who worked with the Oregon State School of Veterinary Medicine to evaluate the cub. On Friday, March 31, both bear cubs were transported to PAWS Wildlife Center in Lynwood, Wash., a See CUBS 3B COURTESY PHOTO IT’S A PARK LIKE SETTING for this well laid out 2-story, 3-car garage home on 3 acres.
