Bear Cub Rescued From Lac Du Bonnet Fires Dies

A seven-pound female black bear cub named Sayen was rescued from the Lac du Bonnet wildfire in Manitoba in early May 2025 but died shortly after rescue.
Sayen was separated from her mother during the fire, found alone by someone involved in firefighting, and suffered burns and smoke inhalation from the blaze.
Rescuers took Sayen to Black Bear Rescue Manitoba where she showed signs of coughing, wheezing, singed fur, and burns on paws, nose, and lips despite being alert and wanting milk.
The cub's caregiver Judy Stearns said, "She was such a little fighter," but a vet gave a "hit or miss" prognosis due to lung swelling from smoke exposure.
Sayen’s death highlights wildfire dangers to young wildlife during peak birthing season, when many animals like cubs, squirrels, and rabbits are vulnerable and unable to escape.
