Background Story

He received lifelong care and support until his death of liver cancer in 2018

Location

Located at a non-profit Orphan Wildlife Center 60 miles north of New York

The bears located here can not be released because they are injured or they are too accustomed to captivity

Reason for Captivity

1. Early Socialization

Bears raised in captivity from a young age and exposed to regular human interaction can become accustomed to human presence

2. Dependency on Humans
