Tamarack the Bear Seen Playing with a Toy Bear in the WildLast year, Tamarack the Bear won the hearts of Tahoe residents after news of his rescue from the Tamarack wildfire made the rounds. The cub was severely burned during the fire and his subsequent recovery process was monitored by many sympathizers.Later on, Tamarack - so named by his rescuers - escaped back into the wild with his bandages intact, never to be seen again. Until June this year. The cub was spotted in a video captured by Tahoe Toogee, a South Lake Tahoe bear sighting Instagram account. He was seen playing with a toy bear in a South Lake Tahoe creek. After a devastating fire destroyed his home last year, it’s really great to see the cub having the time of his life again.Image: Lake Tahoe Wildlife Care#bear #LakeTahoe #TamaracktheBear #wildfire

Cat Lost in Snowstorm is Brought Home by FireA year ago, a cat named Boots wandered away from his home in Colorado. Before he could make it back, the area was blanketed with four feet of snow and Boots became lost. As the weeks and months passed, Jules Lieb thought she'd never see her cat again. But it was another disaster that brought Boots home again. The Marshall fire ripped through Boulder County, Colorado, in December of 2021. On January 4, an energy company worker was sifting through the rubble and found a badly burned orange cat hiding in a storm drain. The cat was taken to the Humane Society of Boulder Valley, where he was treated and sheltered. When Boots showed signs that he was healing up, the Humane Society posted pictures hoping to find the cat's owner, which were shared by the TV station CBS4. Word of the cat got back to Lieb, who recognized her long-lost Boots.
