In the summer months here at Critter Care, we are busy releasing animals. One of the many species that get released at this time of year are our Black Bears! Our bears stay in care for up to 18 months, depending on the time of year they are admitted. Black bears give birth early in the year—around mid-January to February, when mother bears are still in their denning period.
