Sabbath

Sabbath arrived on the evening of October 16. Earlier in the day a bear was reported near the waterfront in North Vancouver. When the Conservation Officer arrived on the scene, he did not expect to find a tiny bear cub tipping over trashcans in search of food. After a quick sweep of the area determined there was no mother bear around, he quickly captured the little bear and placed him in a kennel. Sabbath was on his way to Critter Care.

Sabbath weighed in at only 34lbs. He would have not survived the winter by himself. However, where Sabbath was lacking in size, he made up for in attitude. When bear caretaker Angela Fontana tried to give little Sabbath food for the first time, he barely let her put it down before he stated to eat everything in sight. Sabbath now had what he desperately needed, lots of good food and a nice warm place to sleep. 

After four days in isolation, Sabbath was allowed into the main enclosure with the Coquitlam triplets, Kira, Rose, and Kaymona. Even though the girls were three times the size of Sabbath, he quickly asserted himself and had the girls hiding from him.
