Orphaned black bear cubs get new home

FLORIDA — Two orphaned black bear cubs are waking up in a new home.

The baby bears were found on Eglin Air Force base in the panhandle over the weekend.

They are only about 9 weeks old and weigh less than seven pounds each.

Florida Fish and Wildlife determined they were orphans and took them to the Black Bear Rehabilitation Center in Homosassa Springs Wildlife State Park.
