~ Arrived Sunday, June 7, 2026 – Two orphaned six-month-old grizzly bear cubs arrived at Cheyenne Mountain Zoo after a 10-hour drive from Montana. These are the youngest grizzly cubs the Zoo has cared for in decades, and the first orphaned grizzlies to arrive in more than 20 years. Upon arrival, they weighed about 30 pounds each, with light brown fur, the cub-signature white fur rings around their necks, and some of the fluffiest ears on record. The cubs have been acclimating to life in human care behind the scenes, with their care team monitoring their behaviors and health. Since arriving, the cubs are growing quickly, eating, drinking, playing, and settling in well. Check back here and follow CMZoo’s social media channels for more grizzly cub updates.
