Estimated to have been born in March of 2003, Oscar was found orphaned in November of the same year. He was spotted small, underweight, desperately trying to find a good meal in the resident's trash cans near a tree nursery in Deer Park, WA. We worked in conjunction with the Washington State Department of Fish and Wildlife to rescue Oscar from his garbage can home and bring him to our zoological center. After a thorough physical exam he was placed on medication and a specialized diet by our veterinarians. While Oscar's early life trauma has kept him from reaching average weight, he has defied odds and grown into a healthy, playful adult black bear.
