Woman nurse:a
hurt black beafc
Associated Press
GOLDEN, Colo. — Lisa, an Alas
kan black bear, is convalescing at the
North American Wildlife Center on
a diet of fish, grapes and vitamin-
packed peanut butter and honey
sandwiches.
The cub, apparently born out of
season, was found a year ago wan
dering alone in Alaska’s Mount Mc
Kinley National Park, bristling with
quills from a porcupine attack.
But thanks to the mothering of
Vona Bates, director of the wildlife
center — and plenty of wholesome
food — Lisa has been transformed
into a robust yearling that weighs
about 180 pounds.
Lisa soon will be released in Bear
Country USA, a wildlife area near
the Black Hills in South Dakota.
For now, her home is a 30-by-S0-
foot cage and her neighbors are a
pair of bobcats named Clown and
Bonnie. Lisa sleeps in an A-frame
compartment she designed herself
by smashing and rearranging a
heavy wooden box Bates put in the
cage for her to sleep in.
Lisa is the 13th bear that Bates,
55, has nursed, fed and sheltered
over the past 50 years. Bates alxnit
30 years ago began caring for ani
mals at this site spread over several
acres behind the small home she
shares with her husband, an interior
designer.
She began playing mother to wild
creatures as a chilcf when someone
f jave her a 6-week-old coyote pup
or a pet. She trained the coyote to
herd sheep and remains convinced a
properly trained coyote makes an.
excellent sheep dog.
Conversely, she found that sheep
can be excellent teachers. About
eight years ago, after rehabilitating
two coyotes. Bates obtained a new
born lamb and named it Chops. To
day Chops is a mentor for coyotes,
teaching them how to live with
sheep.
Chops, who shares his cpiarters
with a coyote named Tawni and a
red fox named Reddi, has adapted
so well to his job that “unfortunately
he thinks he is a coyote,” Bates says. 1
“He eats mice.”
Then there is Beaner, the epilep
tic bobcat. Bates got Beaner from
Mexico, where the bobcat suffered
at the hands of an abusive owner.
When Beaner proved allergic to nor
mal epilepsy medication. Bates
moved him into a smaller cage and
now Be.mci e;m tope belter
