Named by Jan
This name I first heard on Wild Bear Rescue filmed at the Northern Lights Wildlife Shelter near Smithers. One of their bear cubs was named Taku, and the name stuck with me.
I’m so happy to see an update on sweet Taku. I found her early Saturday morning surrounded by people touching her and taking photos. I called you guys and waited with her till she was picked up. Informing people it was better to keep a distance from her and that someone was on the way. Such a sweet soul and I’m glad she’s in good hands
I’m so happy that Taku was released and has a second chance at life!!!!!
Thank you for all that you do VAMMR for these beautiful creatures!!! 💙❤️
