ANCHORAGE, Alaska (KTUU) - An orphaned black bear has found a temporary home at the Alaska Zoo. Curator Shannon Jensen said the tiny male weighed less than five pounds when he arrived in Anchorage on Saturday and may be the smallest bear the zoo has ever received.
The cub, which rescuers named Taglu, the Inupiat name for “snowshoe”, was found by villagers near Kotzebue with no mother in sight. Jensen said the Alaska Department of Fish and Game determined the 3-4-month-old cub was orphaned and flew it to Anchorage and the Alaska Zoo.
