and all the wonders
that come with it!
Jump into Spring with our resident bobcat Tucker
Tucker is doing very well and loves to watch the seasons change. His favourite Spring activity is to chase after bouncing tennis balls and pounce from behind his hiding spots to catch them.
As well as his behaviour, Tucker’s coat is mimicking the changing of the seasons. It is turning to a beautiful burnt orange just in time for the upcoming summer months.
He has been getting lots of attention from his caretakers, who recently purchased a new PVC tunnel for him. This gives him more privacy and prompts him to play.
It is imperative that Tucker’s enclosure be switched up often. This encourages natural behaviours and gives him a change of scenery, which is extremely important for all captive wildlife.
Some other ways we support Tucker’s natural behaviours are to scatter feed, encourage predator/prey play with toys, and add lots of new items like trees/food/toys to his enclosure. Soon, it will be warm enough for our beloved bobcat to get his pool back so he can start fishing again.
Critter Care Wildlife Society News
When Annick first travelled from her home in the Netherlands to Critter Care Wildlife Society three years ago, she didn't expect to find something she loved so deeply. Initially, she came to complete a school internship but soon discovered a passion for wildlife rehabilitation that drew her back again. Now, Annick is here once more, working closely with animals and learning important life lessons along the way.
When Tegan Owen began searching for wildlife internships abroad, she had one goal in mind: to gain hands-on experience in animal rescue and rehabilitation. That search led her from her hometown of Sheffield, England, to British Columbia, where she joined Critter Care Wildlife Society as an intern.
At Critter Care Wildlife Society, rescuing orphaned bear cubs is no small task. Emma Robson, Junior Wildlife Supervisor and Head Bear Supervisor, shares the process of how Critter Care steps in to give these vulnerable cubs a second chance at life.
