In this photo provided by the Bootleg Fire Incident Command, a young bear cub was spotted by a safety officer, and ran off after firefighters stopped, in the Bootleg Fire area, July 18, 2021. Incident Command also stated, "According to a biologist with Oregon Dept. of Fish and Wildlife, a law enforcement officer saw the mother sow just before cub was observed. It is very good news that the animal is not an orphan. ODF&W stresses that many animals that appear alone often actually aren’t, so please don’t pick them up."
