Coola & Grinder

The Grouse Mountain Grizzlies
Orphaned at Five Months old


Being cared for by the Refuge for Endangered Wildlife
Web Cams by www.wavelit.com


More info on forums (also on sidebar at left)
They are still in 'hibernation' due to the climate conditions on the mountain.
There is no food yet available for them to eat.
Other grizzlies are still under a significant amount of snow.

They will be let out in a controlled manner, soon (I hope).

Grizzly Webcam Post Updated

See update to Webcam post below. I finally was able to catch them awake, and get a screen shot of one of the grizzlies. I'm not sure which one is which yet.

See my note re my concerns for them below too.

aka animal lover

More on Webcams ~ Updated below



I have added two more webcam links to my sidebar Africam and Grizzly Bears.





<-- See the hippo I caught at left as he was entering the watering hole at night? I was so excited to see him!!



The baby grizzly bears were moving around and playing as I first started this post.


"Both orphaned at approximately 5 months of age, Grinder and Coola have made the remarkable transition from struggling cubs with an uncertain future to vibrant, healthy bears that now act as West Coast ambassadors for their entire species.

Unfortunately there's no sound on the Grizzly webcam but there is on the Africam one.

You will hear lots of night sounds and see some flying bugs (or maybe birds) depending on the time of day that you watch. Once I saw a big slithering snake go by that watering hole.

I love watching these sites. Sometimes it's hit or miss, there may or may not be a lot of action going on. I've put them on my side bar to remind me to go there more often.

Wavelit Forums about what people have seen on the webcams / comments / questions etc.

UPDATE:

I'm feeling a little more stressed about these grizzlies, I've been watching them off and on all day and the really seem like they want to get out of this enclosure that they are in.



They keep going up to the window and looking out. I even saw one of them pushing on the window it seemed like. I feel sad now.

I hope that the people that are minding them know what they are doing and are not just exploiting these poor orphaned bears.
