Oregon Wildlife Safari Gets New Grizzly

(Winston, OR) -- A one-year-old grizzly bear cub is now at the Oregon Wildlife Safari in Winston. The bear was an orphan in a remote region of Alaska and was interacting with humans near a lodge. The bear was examined by the Alaska Zoo and deemed fit to travel to Oregon. The Cow Creek Band of Umpqua Tribe of Indians helped pay for the journey. They named the bear cub Takelma. He's already met another grizzly around the same age, named Teddy, and they seem to have become friends. They're both in the bear loop of the Safari Drive Thru.
