accident happened, it has not stopped her from making noise. >> it is just like a motor running, a contented sound. >> reporter: what the caretakers don't want is for the bear to bond with them so they try not to hold her more than they have to. that is because in a year or less they hope to release her back in the wild. in the meantime, they're trying to figure out how she got here. the only clue so far? an e-mail. >> it said i think i know where the cub came from. >> they want to find out where the bear is from because that is where they will eventually have to release her, california's department of fish and wildlife requires 75 mile releases from the point of capture. to give the bear a chance of survival she has some growing to do before she can graduate from stuffed animals to real ones. she is used to running up trees.
