The bear – officially named Bear 64F but given the nickname “Hank the Tank” because of her size – is accused of multiple break-ins and instances of property destruction in the Lake Tahoe area since last year. Her three cubs, which allegedly accompany their mama on her exploits – were also captured and will be going to a sanctuary in California.
Some sanctuaries can work on rehabilitating bear cubs to look for their normal food sources vs seeking out human food vs staying with mom that won’t change what the cubs have already learned.
