Lily's Black Bear Den
Five-year-old Lily has taught the world more about life in black bear dens than ever thought possible. Thousands around the world watched as Lily labored to give birth to Hope on January 22, 2010 and to Faith and Jason on January 21, 2011. Lily's family touched the lives of those who watched the tender, often playful, interactions that are part of family care in black bears.
Jason died from an infection in April and Hope's life was cut short by a hunter in September. Lily and her remaining cub Faith are denned together in a 7 foot deep rock den. Faith represents the fourth generation of black bears descended from 25-year-old matriarch Shadow, and studied by the Wildlife Research Institute. We're all learning together as we watch.
A dual camera system is used designed and built by PixController (pixcontroller.com) with an IR fixed camera inside the den and a moveable camera outside that will follow Lily and Faith when they venture outside the den nearer to spring..
