They want the same thing \u2013 for wildlife to live safely in the wild.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>At six months old, the cubs are the youngest grizzly bears the Zoo has had in decades. The pair has white fur markings around their necks, which are called \u201ccollars,\u201d the news release said. <\/p>\n<p>The cubs are staying in the zoo\u2019s conservation center, out of view of visitors, to help them adjust to their new environment. They are also not sharing space with the zoo\u2019s older grizzlies, Emmett and Digger, according to the news release. <\/p>\n<p><em>Get more Colorado news by signing up for our daily Your Morning Dozen email newsletter.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/coloradospringsmoverss.com\/?p=2029\">RTD to change bus routes, boarding locations as Denver Pride events take place downtown<\/a><\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/coloradospringsmoverss.com\/?p=2031\">A few years of healthy eating and exercise influences health 2 decades later, new study shows<\/a><\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/coloradospringsmoverss.com\/?p=2033\">Bison coming back to prairie habitat in Highlands Ranch<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Two orphaned grizzly bear cubs are the newest residents at Cheyenne Mountain Zoo in Colorado Springs.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2034,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[13,4],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2035","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-colorado-news","category-news"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.6 -
