Wild Bear Rescue

Wild Bear Rescue tracks the ups and downs of one of Canada’s only shelters for orphaned bear cubs and other animals. In Season 3, the scope of its work is truly something to see. As new cubs are brought in with all kinds of injuries and problems, the previous year’s cubs, now rambunctious yearlings, need to be released to their home territories. Angelika, Peter, Tanja, and their busy volunteers juggle everything from cubs and calves with major traumas to feisty yearlings who manage to escape their pens. On top of the bears, fawns arrive with fractured bones, moose calves limp in after being mauled by dogs or abandoned by their mothers, and otters need to be taught how to fish. Often, Angelika must make difficult choices of whether an animal can recover and ever survive in the wild. Bristling with drama, comedy and irresistible cuteness “Wild Bear Rescue” tracks bear cubs and other young animals, growing up, until they’re all ready to be released and have a second chance at life in the wild.
