Did you know that much of a red squirrel's diet is made up of the seeds hidden within pinecones? If you're heading for a walk through the woods, you'll know you're in red squirrel territory by the shelled pinecones covering the forest floor. 🌲 #alberta #wildliferescue #charity

Making these kinds of decisions is hard, as our team is not immune to emotions that come with saying goodbye, but animal welfare and rehab efficacy will always be our top priorities.

As young moose are best rehabilitated together, it only made sense to send her to another rehab center that has other moose calves in care. Our friends at Medicine River Wildlife Center will now be providing this calf with the best of care on her rehab journey.

This certainly could be mange, as bats can contract the disease. That said, mange is rare in bats, to the point that we've never had to treat a bat for mange at our clinic.

In the coming weeks, all three cubs currently in care will be introduced to one another and will spend the summer together learning how to be proper bears!

A special thank you to Alberta Fish & Wildlife officers who installed a radio collar and drove this young bear to a remote location near where he was originally found.
