For the newest residents of the Bronx Zoo<\/a>, New York is a long way from home. The Wildlife Conservation Society<\/a>, which operates the zoo, recently took in four bear cubs — three brown bears, all siblings, and one grizzly — whose mothers were killed by humans in Alaska and Montana.<\/p>\n The three brown bear cubs (two of them are shown above) were rescued by Alaska Department of Fish and Game officials and housed temporarily at a bear rescue facility in the Alaskan town of Sitka. (In honor of their short-term home, one of the cubs, a female, was given the name Sitka. The other cubs, both males, are named Kootz and Denali.) The grizzly cub, a male, was rescued in Montana and is named Glacier after his birthplace, Glacier National Park. <\/p>\n All four are housed together and are "healthy and adjusting well to their new surroundings," according to zoo director Jim Breheny.<\/p>\n — Lindsay Barnett<\/p>\n Don’t miss a single adorable animal:<\/strong> Follow Unleashed on Facebook<\/a> and Twitter<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n Photo credit: Julie Larsen Maher \/ Associated Press<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" For the newest residents of the Bronx Zoo, New York is a long way from home.
