Bear Cub Rescued From Lac Du Bonnet Fires Dies
- A seven-pound female black bear cub named Sayen was rescued from the Lac du Bonnet wildfire in Manitoba in early May 2025 but died shortly after rescue.
- Sayen was separated from her mother during the fire, found alone by someone involved in firefighting, and suffered burns and smoke inhalation from the blaze.
- Rescuers took Sayen to Black Bear Rescue Manitoba where she showed signs of coughing, wheezing, singed fur, and burns on paws, nose, and lips despite being alert and wanting milk.
- The cub's caregiver Judy Stearns said, "She was such a little fighter," but a vet gave a "hit or miss" prognosis due to lung swelling from smoke exposure.
- Sayen’s death highlights wildfire dangers to young wildlife during peak birthing season, when many animals like cubs, squirrels, and rabbits are vulnerable and unable to escape.
