Bear Cubs Found By California Highway May Have Been Poached

SOUTH LAKE TAHOE, Calif. (AP) — Wildlife officials say they believe someone illegally separated two bear cubs from their mother and left the young animals along a Northern California highway.
The California Department of Fish and Wildlife says its investigators are processing evidence discovered with the cubs March 9 along State Route 96.
Game wardens say they couldn’t find the mother, so they took the cubs to be evaluated by wildlife veterinarians who determined they were healthy.
