Two Abandoned Himalayan Black Bear Cubs Rescued and Taken to Rehabilitation Centre in Himachal

Two one-month-old male Himalayan black bear cubs were rescued after being found abandoned in an orchard in Sandhu village, Theog subdivision, Himachal Pradesh. Local residents alerted the forest department, which retrieved the cubs and unsuccessfully searched for their mother for two days. The cubs were transferred to the Wildlife Rescue and Rehabilitation Centre (RRC) in Tutikandi, Shimla, where they are receiving intensive care and monitoring. The RRC, under the Shimla Wildlife Division, has rescued around 350 wild animals in the past three years, providing rehabilitation or lifelong care as needed.
