The post referenced an encounter that wildlife officials had with the new mother bear in early March.
National Park Service and U.S. Forest Service officials had to briefly immobilize the bear in order to remove a dead battery from its radio collar.
During the encounter, the officials noticed that the bear had two cubs. When they were made aware of the orphaned cub, they decided they knew what to do.

"Another sow was killed by a car in Cocke County," the post continued. "A passerby heard a bear cub crying and contacted Appalachian Bear Rescue (ABR) and TWRA placed this orphaned cub with the sow in U.S. Forest Service - Cherokee National Forest. She had fostered cubs before, and the orphaned cub was similar in size to her cubs. The cub was placed in the entrance to her den. She reached out with a paw and pulled the new cub to her."
