Meet Our Bears

Meet Our Bears. . , Our three bears were rescued as cubs in Montana in 2013. Luna and Amber are sisters whose mother was illegally shot. Treena is an unrelated bear whose mother was euthanized by wildlife officials after repeatedly foraging for food in a residential area, making her potentially dangerous to people. The cubs were too young to fend for themselves in the wild, so they were moved to the Bronx Zoo in 2013 and here to the Central Park Zoo in 2022., We are working with communities in the American West to promote human-bear coexistence, including educating people who live in areas with dense bear populations on proper food storage and trash disposal, so that bears don't become reliant on human food and instead forage in wild areas., Treena , Favorite Foods: watermelon and peanut butter , Favorite Activities: playing and wrestling , Favorite Health Exam: presenting her shoulder for injections , Fun Facts: She has the longest hair and looks most like a teddy bear.
