Orphaned grizzly cubs captured in Montana find new home at Quebec zoo

MISSOULA, Mont. — Wildlife officials in Montana have found a new home in Canada for three grizzly bear cubs that were orphaned in June when their mother was killed by a vehicle.

Montana Fish, Wildlife and Parks announced plans on Tuesday to send the cubs to Zoo Sauvage de Saint-Felicien in Quebec.

The Missoulian newspaper reports that the cubs have been at a Helena wildlife rehabilitation centre since being captured in early June.

Authorities have been searching for a new home for the cubs since, hoping to avoid euthanizing them.
