Orphaned Bear Cub To Get Hibernation Help

SACRAMENTO (AP) ― An orphaned bear cub could soon be snuggled into a den near Truckee for a long winter's rest.

State Fish and Game officials plan to put the 80-pound cub into the den today to beat winter storms predicted the rest of the week.

The cub was orphaned last year and has been cared for since then in a pen.

Wardens think it now weighs enough to survive the winter on its own.
