SOUTH LAKE TAHOE, Calif. – A first-year bear cub hit by a car on Pioneer Trail on August 21, 2018 is recuperating at Lake Tahoe Wildlife Care (LTWC).
The bear, named Pioneer by LTWC, was knocked out after being hit, so those tending to him were concerned at first, especially when he wasn’t eating. “He is doing really well,” said Denise Upton, LTWC animal care director. “He is acting like a bear and eating now.”
The cub was 42 pounds when he arrived and is now healthy.
