It was a bear-y baffling discovery in front of a North Carolina home.
Cornelius Williams returned home from the grocery store Tuesday night and heard a squeaky noise coming from a cardboard box left in his walkway, WTKR-TV reported.
It was dark outside, so Williams called authorities for help. A deputy approached the box, peered inside and to his surprise — he found two newborn bear cubs.
Bears are no stranger to Camden County, Sheriff Kevin Jones said. But, he said finding cubs in a box was “a little strange.”
Williams wasn’t sure why he was left to bear with the box of blanket-wrapped cubs, but they are out of his paws now.
The bears were taken to the North Carolina Zoo in Asheboro to be examined and cared for, news outlets reported.
The way he talked! Good Gracious!!
I would immediately be very nervous that a sow was in the vicinity looking for them.
The brother of one of my friends onceput a box with a live hornet’s nest on her front porch. People are crazy.
I'm thinking she was shot by a poacher...
That was my suspicion also. Odd though that a poacher would try to save the cubs.
I’m not discounting other possibilities for either circumstance though.
ie mama bear’s fate and the cub’s secret rescuer.
