Bears
Your Gift Helps Provide the “Bear” Necessities
Two orphaned American black bear cubs have found a new beginning at Flamingo Gardens. Bentley and Treena were just two months old when they lost their mother, leaving them unable to survive in the wild. After being bottle-fed and cared for by wildlife professionals, these young cubs will have a safe, permanent home at Flamingo Gardens where they can continue to grow, explore, and thrive.
Beginning June 6, guests will have the opportunity to visit Bentley and Treena in their new habitat and follow their journey as they settle into their new lives.
Caring for bear cubs requires specialized nutrition, expert veterinary care, enrichment activities, and thoughtfully designed habitat spaces that support their physical and emotional well-being. Your gift today helps provide the compassionate, lifelong care these cubs need and deserve—and every contribution makes a meaningful difference.
Thanks to generous support, the initial $20,000 milestone has been reached to help welcome Bentley and Treena. This funding is covering the immediate needs of their transition, essential habitat enhancements, and first month of care.
Care for these young bears continues, and additional support is still needed to sustain their long-term wellbeing. Continued gifts will help provide ongoing enrichment, routine wellness care, and specialized support to ensure Bentley and Treena can thrive for years to come.
Your generosity turns a difficult beginning into a future grounded in safety, care, and hope.
