Josh is a 14 year old, 600 lb Black Bear that was rescued as a cub and can not live in the wild. His former home lost its permit and Josh has been staying at a rescue facility temporarily. Flamingo Gardens has been working hard for the past two years to raise funds and construct a new large habitat for Josh to live out the remainder of his life. His new home is an 8000 sq feet habitat with his own splash pool and bears cave - flamingogardens.org – I am a proud volunteer bringing awareness of their noble work through my photography.
