This Bear Cub Is All Better!

This year-old Cub burned his paws in a Montana forest fire last summer. The bandages are gone now, and he is back in the wild after spending six months at an animal shelter. Wildlife experts built a protected den in a forest for him and another rescued cub. The furry friends will spend the rest of the winter sleeping there. Says animal-shelter worker Kurt Cunningham: "He's been given a second chance."
