According to this video, these vulnerable black bear cubs are the first rescued bear cubs of the season. The report also notes that it is quite rare for bear cubs this small to be rescued. Usually, their cries cannot be heard from very far away, so these bear cubs were very lucky.<\/p>\n
The chance of actually finding and rescuing them in time was like finding a needle in a haystack, since they were found in one of the most remote regions of Vancouver Island.<\/p>\n

That means that residents of Vancouver Island can expect to see more bears in the near future. As such, this report mentions that they should lock down their trash cans and compost bins to deter wild bears in search of food from entering their neighborhoods.<\/p>\n Social Media Is Breathing a Sigh of Relief for These Black Bear Cubs A black bear cub lying on a blanket.Image via Shutterstock/Geoffrey Kuchera<\/p>\n (Image via Shutterstock/Geoffrey Kuchera)<\/p>\n Viewers on social media had a lot to say about this one.
