Well, meet Eve. When she was first found, her rescuers didn’t even know she was a bear for sure. Hairless, pink, riddled with scabs and stripped of her dignity, it was difficult to discern that Eve was actually one of the proudest animals on the planet.
She was rescued from Placer County, California, by the CA Department of Fish and Wildlife on Christmas Eve 2017, and thus began her epic journey to recovery …
Dubbed “Eve” due to the day she was found, the young black bear was afforded a place at The Fund for Animals Wildlife Center. They quickly realized she was suffering from extensive mange and smaller than she was supposed to be (her lack of food had stunted her development).
Fortunately for Eve, she was given extensive treatment against the lice that were feasting on her skin, and regular baths started to restore her coat.
