REVELSTOKE – The two rescued grizzly cubs are now safe and sound at the Northern Lights Wildlife Society – their sanctuary in Smithers.
The rescue with its unforeseen challenges garnered media attention after the society’s manager, Angelika Langren posted a call for help on the society’s Facebook page.
Langren posted another call on the Facebook page Monday afternoon — but this time she asked for name suggestions for the bears. Suggested names were voted by “likes” and now the bears, one female one male, are called Tom and Sari.
Second place names were Revel and Stoke – to commemorate the bears’ layover in Revelstoke.
Both people who suggested names will receive photo prints of Tom and Sari.
