Upon arriving to the Gold Country Wildlife Rescue, the bear cub was dehydrated, anemic, underweight and suffering ear infections and a skin infection.

An El Dorado County community is rallying around a special visitor. An orphaned black bear cub has been seen in the area of Pilot Hill near Coloma and the South Fork American River. The California Department of Fish and Wildlife tried to find the bear and could not. But a woman who lives nearby did.
