[bears grunting and growling] [Suzuki] The big day has come for the five grizzly yearlings to leave the shelter and begin their journey back to the wild. [Angelika] We want to make sure that we teach them that other humans are not acceptable, and so we tranquilize them for release and so on. That's an additional negative experience with other humans. And that helps then out there in the wild that they're not approaching other people. [bears growling] Here we go. Processing bears is by far my least favourite. So, which one do you want me to do first? That one. [Ciarniello] It's so invasive. [bear growls, fires dart] It's hard on the animals, but it's the only way, I feel, we can get the data that's required for the study. [Suzuki] The release team take the yearlings' weights... 231.1. [Suzuki] ...and body measurements... 142.5. [Suzuki] ...and collect DNA samples... There we go. [Suzuki] ...but ultimately, the study's critical long-term survival data will be gathered from each bear's tracking collar... [Ciarniello] Too loose? All right. [Suzuki] ...so it's crucial that the collars are carefully fitted. [chuckling] It's a very tricky balance in order to have that collar fit just right. Oh, hey, we did it. [Ciarniello] It's on now, and it's going to stay on. It's not going to fall off and slip off because it gets too big... Okay. [Ciarniello] You know, but they still have a lot more growing to do. Hey, buddy. It's tight, Angelika. It's not too tight. -Are you okay with that? -Yeah, I'm okay with that, 'cause otherwise he's going to lose it. Okay. I need to figure out what happens to them... We're all good? [Ciarniello] ...whether they survive or not, and it doesn't matter if they survive or not, but having a known fate at the end is something that really does matter. So am I expecting all five bears to survive? Probably not. I wouldn't expect all five wild bears that I was monitoring to survive. [Griujs] I did my job, and now it's up to the bears and the researchers who are following them to see how they're doing. I feel really proud of these five. They're perfectly healthy, smart babies. [chuckles] [Suzuki] The shelter's grizzly bears must be released within 50 kilometres of where they were orphaned, so they are driven over 1,000 kilometres to a staging area, outside of Bella Coola.

[Suzuki] They've been heavily re-sedated, to ensure they don't awaken during their flight and become a danger to themselves or the helicopter crew. [Ciarniello] We were releasing them as family groups together, and the triplets were first. So, we put the two females on one pallet, and then Arthur had his own. [Tanja Landry] We started by getting the first set of bears put into the nets, and then three helicopters took off with the triplets and off into the back country. An operation like this, especially with five bears, is a daunting task. There's so much hinging on what happens to these five grizzly bear cubs. I look at these bears as being so key to what might happen elsewhere, where they are trying to get populations up. Having success in rewilding, data that shows these bears can survive to two, three, five years, and enter the main population would be just critical. We started following Isa and Raven in. We finally ended up descending into a valley that had several big, rushing rivers coming into it. Okay, it looks pretty good right there. It was far from people, very difficult to access with lush green estuaries everywhere. Perfect bear habitat. [Landry] Now we've been watching for the last several hours as they are coming out of their medications and taking stock of where they are, and all the new smells that they have around them. [Marriott] Isa, we've seen her with the drone, and she doesn't appear to be moving, but she did get a double dose, so we're just hoping she's still knocked out. Oh, Arthur's up. He's walking. [Suzuki] Still woozy from sedatives, Arthur is first up, but goes directly towards the river. [Marriott] He was stumbling about, and he started coming towards us. We had a river between us and him... [Landry] Arthur decided that he was ready for a swim when he really wasn't... [Marriott shouts at Arthur] [shouting] Ha! [shouting] He's coming out now. Come on, get up there, get up! There we go. [Landry] Yes. [Suzuki] Arthur heads back towards siblings Raven and Isa. Now it's time for the twins, Cedar and Muwin, to be released. [Landry] We put Cedar and Muwin on their pallets, and then did their last health checks, so they were immobilized but their vitals were good. [Marriott] Then the day took just a terrible, terrible turn. Not at all what I expected, that something terrible was going to happen. [Suzuki] Cedar and Muwin are flown to the same location where the triplets were just released. [Landry] We saw the helicopter come in with the second set of bears. We thought everything was okay. We didn't knowanything was wrong until we landed. They've left the helicopters. Then there's a big stump blocking where they dumped the bears. [Kathryn Wykes]The C.O.'s were investigating, and they found that one was already deceased. [Suzuki] Cedar is unloaded, but her sibling, Muwin, is left in the sling. What? That's why Kathryn went back, she was slinging a bear out. [Landry] Oh, no! So either Cedar or... Cedar or Muwin. Oh, Christ. [Landry] The loss of that fifth bear is definitely going to weigh on everybody. Of course, Peter, Angelika, and Kim are going to feel that loss most deeply. [Ciarniello] It's obviously hard to lose a bear,

lots have been put into these animals. You know, I mean, I don't mean to sound callous, but what I was really concerned about is that it was one of the females. [Suzuki] Muwin is taken away so Lana can examine her and determine the cause of death. [Ciarniello] The results show that the shift in the load allowed her sister to roll on top of her, and that asphyxiated her. Oh, I saw Isa. [Landry] Did you? Yeah, head just popped up. [Landry] Now, if she can find her feet, then at least for the triplets, things are looking good. Arthur is fairly well-oriented, considering all the drugs. [Marriott] And I know we still have four out there, and this still can be a success, but it just wasn't how we expected the day to go. But we actually had a really spectacular moment. Raven, for the first time, saw Arthur. [growling] She actually huffed and tried to scare him away, so, obviously, didn't initially recognize him. And then very quickly got over it, and they approached each other... ...touched noses in this loving, sort of brother-sister, you know, "Hey, I know you." For me, the coolest thing to see next spring would be when one of these cubs emerges out of the den, and to be able to go, "Whoa, look at that, Cedar made it!" I am pumped! Yes!

[CBC Newstheme] Announcer:The clock is ticking for demonstrators ata pro-Palestinian encampment to clear out from the groundsof Canada's largest post-secondary institution. The University of Torontohas issued a trespass notice for protesters toleave by 8:00 AM on Monday after a previous deadlineexpired without a resolution. The encampment was set upearlier this month to call on the university to cutalleged financial ties with Israel overthe war in Gaza. [Ciarniello] These areall the bear locations since release. [Suzuki] Four months after their release, the rewilded grizzlies location plots reveal the unexpected. That's where Arthur is now, right, and these are his locations from release to present, and then we stick on Raven, we can see that Raven and Arthur are always together. Siblings never stay together is what I was told over, and over, and over again. ...and we stick Isa on. These three are certainly proving that to be wrong. You have the three lines all together, then all together, and then they're all together. So now we've put Cedar on. She moves around. She does the most moving of all of them. So the locations are going to be somewhere in here, right? What's the name of the bears in that area? -Cedar? -Yeah, yeah. [Suzuki] Lana and Kim are heading back to the release area to check on how the four rewilded grizzlies are surviving. [Ciarniello] You're going to 52.03972 north. Aside from getting visuals on them, I want to know what they're eating, and how much they're eating. [Griujs] This is the first time that I've been out here after they got released, so, hopefully, get to see how my kids are doing. [Suzuki] Lana and Kim track the triplets' prior GPS locations, to explore areas where the bears have been foraging. [Ciarniello] There's the helicopter here, and then we checked out all this area here, so this is all the young forbs, like, in the avalanche chute area What I do is I look at where locations for each bear are clustering. All the bear locations are clustering, a big cluster of them right out in here, and that is all super thick blueberry, huckleberry, and mountain ash. Then what I'm interested in is are they feeding on a broad range of food. I want to make sure there's nothing big, like a critical food that they are missing. Is this fresh, from the last few days? [Suzuki] From nibbled sedge grass and wild crab apples... [Ciarniello] You can see they're capitalizing on them. [Suzuki] ...to dug-up rice root and skunk cabbage, everything indicates the rewilded triplets were foraging like wild grizzly bears. The rice root? [Ciarniello] But that's what's left over -after she ate the rest of it. -Yeah. There's so much good food around here, and they're finding it. [Suzuki] But to really see how the bears are surviving, Lana needs to get eyes on them. My number-one thing is to see them, and make sure those collars are not growing into their neck. So, our next job, we're going to go find Isa. [Suzuki] Lana zeroes in on the signal from Isa's collar. [Griujs] We found out that Isa had split from Raven and Arthur. [Suzuki] Though Isa has spent most of her time with Arthur and Raven, she's also prone to wandering off on her own. [Ciarniello] I could see her neck fully. The collar was not too tight. [Griujs] She looked really good. No sign of injuries, no limping. [Suzuki] Further upriver, Lana detects both Arthur and Raven's frequencies, but can't see them from the air. [Griujs] I was worried that they might not be in good shape, that they lost a lot of weight, maybe they got injured. I think all the worries like every caretaker has when you let them go in the wild. [Ciarniello] They are literally right there, and they are moving right, but not fast. Come on, children. You see them? They're beautiful. [Griujs] The first sight we saw from Arthur and Raven, they looked amazing. All happy, and chubby, and... [chuckles] healthy kids. [Suzuki] Raven, the smaller and darker bear. is focused on the river, while her big brother, Arthur, keeps a lookout. [Griujs] When Raven was hunting for fish, Arthur kept looking around and seeing if there was no bigger bear coming their way. It was really cool

to see a big brother watching over his little sister. [chuckling] We were really holding our breath and hoping that she would catch a salmon, because that would be the ultimate reward. Yeah, she tried really hard, "A" for effort, but, unfortunately, while we were there, she didn't catch any. [Suzuki] The next day, Kim spots Raven and Arthur again, this time at the mouth of the river. [Griujs] They had their nose down, and they were sniffing. They clearly picked up a scent of something, and then, all of a sudden, Raven stops, and she picked up a spawned-out salmon. It was great to see they're not just eating berries and plants, but they also get their proteins. Shortly after, Arthur found a fish, too... ...and he, of course, devoured it all, and he thought he could snag a piece of Raven's fish... [growling] ...but she wasn't having it. She's like, "I worked hard for this, and this is mine." It's really good to see that they're not starving and panicking to look for food. They can feed themselves really well. They went to all the good feeding areas, and nobody taught them that. They figured it out themself. Instinct is amazing. [Suzuki] Lastly, Lana and Kim check in on Cedar, who's spent the past few months on her own in the high alpine. [Griujs] When we closed in, she started running. She looked in decent health, but we only had a really short window to see her, and she was out of sight pretty fast. We had pretty high hopes for Cedar, because it's high up, far away from possible interactions with people. We thought she had a safe spot there. Well then, the next news we got from Cedar really wasn't good. [Suzuki] Two weeks later, Cedar suddenly descended from her high alpine habitat down to the coast, moving northwards. [Ciarniello] Cedar makes this really big movement almost in a straight line, and then eventually swam across the arm towards Bella Coola. For me, it was nerve-racking. I constantly looked on the map and see her movement. She ended up right smack in the middle of town. I was like, "Oh, this is not good." [Angelika] She showed up, basically, in exactly the same areawhere she was orphaned when her mom was shotas a problem bear. [Suzuki] Cedar honed in on a property where salmon remains had been left out. [Griujs] The conservation officers tried really hard to deter her, and chase her out of the area... She didn't really want to go. She wasn't aggressive, or attacking anybody, but she just wouldn't leave either, because this was easy feeding, and she just stood her ground. So, the conservation officers, they ended up having to shoot her and kill her. I get very angry at those people who cannot manage their attractants, and the bears always pay the price. [Suzuki] Now just the triplets, Raven, Arthur, and Isa, survive. Like other grizzlies in the area, they'll need to dig a den to ride out winter. [Griujs] There's always a concern that they might not make it, a question if they know how to make a den that keeps them dry and safe throughout the winter, because no mom really taught them that. [Suzuki] In early winter, Lana receives Isa and Raven's last GPS locations very close to one another, suggesting they may be denning together. But Arthur's last location was far from his siblings, and his collar has alerted Lana that it hasn't moved throughout the winter. So it's telling me that it's been laying motionless for at least 12 hours to go on this mode. I'm pretty sure he's just dropped it. [Suzuki] To determine whether Arthur is alive and denningwith Isa and Raven... [Suzuki] ...Lana tracks down their den, and motion-detecting cameras are set up to video the bears if they emerge from hibernation. Two months later, Kim and the Langens receive the den-camera images. Is that the den? Mm-hmm. [Griujs] That's Raven... ...and that's Isacoming out now.

Where's Arthur? That's Arthur, right? Yeah, Arthur is the one that doesn't have a collar. -He looks great. -Mm-hmm. [Angelika] So, all three bears emerged out of the den. Well, that was awesome. [laughs] It looks like Arthur is still taking care of his sisters. [Griujs] I was super excited to see my children are doing good out there. And they're not skinny either. -No. -You would see it. [Suzuki] By surviving through winter, the rewilded triplets have passed a major hurdle, captured for the first time on camera. [Angelika] This was really, really important, because it's been documented that they went through hibernation. [Griujs] Raven looks like she's checking out the camera. [Ciarniello] Hey, bears! [Suzuki] Less that two weeks after the bears emerged from hibernation, Lana gets a phone alert. [Ciarniello] We're in the mountains outside of Bella Coola, and what brought me here was a text I received that Raven's collar was on mortality. [GPS locator beeping] It doesn't necessarily mean that the bear is dead at all. It just means that the collar itself hasn't moved, for whatever reason, for 12 hours. Okay, so I can hear it good through here-- I smell something-- dead animal or something. Yeah, I smell something dead now, too, Taylor, so let's go closer. [shouts] Hey, bears!
