Four bear cubs orphaned near Stateline will have a chance to grow up near Reno, at least until next winter.
That’s according to the Nevada Department of Wildlife which rescued the cubs last week after discovering their mother died, apparently of natural causes.
The cubs had been living under a walkway since their birth in January, according to a homeowner who reported the family of bears on her property.
