---- latest on Lily from the local paper ----(Fri. afternoon)
Lynn Rogers has been walking with and talking to and studying bears for 43 years, but he had never seen bear cubs being born — until today.
Rogers, the flamboyant and sometimes controversial Ely bear researcher, is huddled with his co-researchers at a cabin watching a computer screen four miles from the den of Lily the mother bear this morning is thought to have given birth.
“We think a cub was born at 10:43 this morning. Sue was watching and said she thought she heard a cub. Then at 10:46 we thought we heard nursing sounds,” Rogers told the News Tribune before the cub’s cries could he heard on the live Webcast. “It’s hard to hear because of the buzz on the audio, and we’re still waiting for visual confirmation. But all of her movements since then looked to confirm the birth.”

Just yesterday I saw Jack Hannah on one of his animal shows, and they were tagging a baby black bear. I was amazed that they could reach in there & remove it from the den while the mother was there. Either they tranquilized her or she was in a deep hibernation sleep, I missed the scene before that. But the cub was adorable, only about 5-6 pounds at the time.
