Lake Tahoe Wildlife Care welcomed a new house guest for the winter, one-year-old China.
China is a 40 pound male bear cub who just arrived from China Peak, near Huntington Lake, outside of Fresno. LTWC names the cubs that come to their center after the region they come from.
The first year cub's mother had to be euthanized after receiving irreparable damage after being hit by a car. China will be living at LTWC for the remainder of the winter with two other cubs that came from Sequoia.
People can watch the cubs via the webcams on the non-profit's website, www.ltwc.org. They will show up on camera #4 and #5 when awake.
According to Tom Milham, co-founder and Secretary of LTWC said China is a "VERY" healthy cub and should adapt very well.
