He was found at a roadside zoo that was closing down, just a few weeks old. It was clear even then that he was a "differently-abled" bear.

As we watched him play, sweetly, innocently, not too coordinated, the name just came out - Humble Bumble said rescuers

Life scares him. Anything new scares him. Without encouragement he would rock himself endlessly in a corner. But he trusts his mentor said Earthfire Institute

Named after a passionate earth-mother wolf with a fire in her belly to protect anything vulnerable, Earthfire was founded in 2000 to develop a new model of relating to nature through the voices of the rescued wildlife under its care. A 40 acre wildlife sanctuary and retreat center, it is located on the western slope of Grand Teton National Park, near Driggs, Idaho.

    That is so nice to see. I wish I would be able to help us. And lived closer so that I could do so. Would love to volunteer.

    The intelligence of the wild kingdom is outstanding, what a beautiful sight to see such an abused animal >the bear< be so playful with a dog not even a quarter of size and strength, the gentle play they enjoy should teach some un-intelligent humans just how special animals are.
