We got to go visit 'Zany' the mama bear and her 5lb male bear cub in the Ozark National Forest! We joined bear biologist, Myron Means of Arkansas Game & Fish Commission and his team of biologists and veterinarians on one of their den site visits where they monitor the reproduction rates of 60 female black bears in the state.In this episode, Myron explains what they're doing and why this work is important to do each year as we're about to approach the bear's den! He also explains how this particular day was the very 1st time in the history of the universe this sedative was used on a denned bear! Cool stuff.
