MDWFP Black Bear Program
Foundation Board Chairman & Orphaned Bear Cub
The Mississippi Department of Wildlife, Fisheries, and Parks (MDWFP) Black Bear Program recently rescued and rehomed an abandoned black bear cub from the South Delta to a new den in Wilkinson County and our board chairman was on the scene.
The cub was unexpectedly abandoned following a routine den check where MDWFP biologists conducted a workup on the first-time mother and cub. The young female (sow) was not expected to have cubs this year because of her age and her frequent movements over the last few months.
