Three bears rescued from cabin crawl space

The Daily Times: Three little bears rescued from Sevier County crawlspace

Tennessee Wildlife Resource officers responded and chased the adult bear off with an air horn. Three cubs were soon discovered under the house. 

The cubs were placed under the care of Appalachian Bear Rescue in Townsend. The center has adopted and rehabilitated hundreds of bears, most of which are eventually returned to the wild. TWRA said it would monitor whether the adult bear — originally surmised to be a male because of its size — returned to the cabin in search of the cubs.
UPDATE: Wildlife officers were eventually able to reunite the cubs with their mother.
