Polaris the Cub and the Road That Took Her | Phoenix News

A seven-month-old bear cub named Polaris was fatally struck by a car in the Tahoe Basin, becoming the third cub from her litter to die on roads this season—and one of six bears killed in just two weeks. Her mother and brother watched helplessly as she was hit, prompting an emotional intervention by the BEAR League. As young bears grow bolder and venture farther for food ahead of winter, they’re increasingly vulnerable to drivers who don’t stop after collisions. In response, the BEAR League is launching a powerful awareness campaign with haunting signs and a stuffed bear reminder, urging everyone to slow down and watch for wildlife—especially in bear country. The organization had been tracking Polaris’s curious, brave spirit through a den camera since March, and now they’re calling on all to help protect these vulnerable cubs navigating our shared world.
