Time is running out for an orphaned bear cub in Maple Ridge, as members of the Albion neighbourhood watch helplessly.<\/p>\n
Ellie Lamb has posted in social media, that if people see the cub, they should immediately call the RAPP Line to report her location at 1-877-952-7277 or #7277 on TELUS, so that the Conservation Officers Service can pick the cub up. They can also at Critter Care Wildlife Society 604-530-2064 extension 3.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis tiny cub is only six pounds and has been alone for 48 hours. She is frightened, exhausted, and urgently needs help,\u201d said Lamb.<\/p>\n
\u201cThank you for helping get her to safety. Her time is running out,\u201d said Lamb in a post on Tuesday, April 15.<\/p>\n
The little bear has now been alone for almost three days.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Lamb noted the Critter Care Wildlife Society in Langley, is ready to take her into their shelter. But they need authorization from Conservation Officers to pick her up.<\/p>\n
The Maple Ridge Black Bear Society has had a representative looking for the cub on site.<\/p>\n
\u201cPlease do not approach, do not feed or attempt to pick the cub up, and keep dogs leashed and away from the cub if possible,\u201d they advise.<\/p>\n
If the cub goes to Critter Care, it will be raised with other bears until next summer, when it will be released back into the wilderness.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Maple Ridge residents worry about orphaned bear cub Published 3:00 pm Wednesday, April 15, 2026 Time is running…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":535566,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[26],"tags":[90,56,54,55,4407],"class_list":{"0":"post-535565","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-wildlife","8":"tag-science","9":"tag-uk","10":"tag-united-kingdom","11":"tag-unitedkingdom","12":"tag-wildlife"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/535565","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=535565"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/535565\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/535566"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=535565"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=535565"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=535565"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
