Little Bear lives at the Two Rivers Wildlife Park. Now at a year old and growing fast, he's come a long way from the 7 lb cub found wandering the highway, separated from his mom, and sick with pneumonia.

Below we are sharing some of his baby pictures, soon after his arrival at the park.

Now Little Bear needs the help of our community. In order to comply with provincial regulations, he needs a new enclosure. The cost to build it is estimated at $40,000.

Little Bear is probably particularly excited about his new enclosure. It will allow him to have a mate join him.

How can you help Little Bear?
