‘Bear Quads
A litter of two black bear cubs
was in past considered average, and
one of three cubs was worthy of
note. But three dens containing
four cubs, an exceptional number,
were found in Pennsylvania this
past winter. This is the story of the
quads, plus one about triplets.
Early in February a prospecting
beaver trapper and his dog located
a female bear with four young on
State Game Lands in Clarion Coun-
ty. When word of the unusual fam-
ily got around curious humans
flocked to the spot. The Game Com-
mission established a refuge around
the den, but inconsiderate people
continued to worry and frighten the
mother. This excitement may have
been the reason she did not rescue
all of -her babes when the den was
flooded, late the same month, by a
rain-swollen creek nearby. Three of
the little cubs, their eyes not yet
open, drowned.
Coincidentally, another female
bear with quads was observed a few
miles away. About them Game Pro-
tector William Denton said, “This
mother and babies are getting along
fine, but the people continue to dis-
turb them.”
Mother Deserts Cubs
In Pike County, March 13th, four
men doing gypsy moth contro] work
discovered a hibernating bear.
When they walked toward the den
the bear “came for them”, they
said. One of the men yelled and
the mother bear ran away, aband-
oning her four young. Investigation
next day disclosed the female had
not returned. The shivering cubs
were then ‘‘adopted” into the fam-
ily of Game Protector John Loh-
mann, of Milford. They were
brought back to health by Mrs.
Lohmann,
Nurse. When another visit was
made to the den the following day
no indication was found that the
mother had returned to the den.
Three More Cubs Saved
On January 22, three men accom-
panied by a dog were looking over
the rhododendron in Monroe Coun-
ty when the animal happened upon
a hibernating bear. The dog made
such a fuss it roused the bear, a
female, and she ran off leaving her
three cubs to the elements. Game
Protector John Spencer learned of
the “find”. By the time he and
assistants arrived at the scene the
nearly hairless two-day-old cubs
were so cold and stiff they were
near death. The little fellows were
carried inside the men’s warm jack-
ets and were placed near a fireplace
to finish the thawing-out process.
Fed reviving liquids, they gradually
improved.
When the triplets were in good
physical condition, having been car-
ed for by a deputy Game Protector
and his wife, they were picked up
by George Koehler, the Game Com-
mission’s wildlife exhibitor. He and
Mrs. Koehler nursed them along so
well they “stole the show” when
displayed at the Philadelphia Motor
Boat and Sportsmen’s Show early
in March.
Game Lands Gift From
Department of Welfare
Recently, a gift from the Penn-
sylvania Department of Welfare in-
creased State Game Lands approx-
imately 500 acres. The property
was formerly part of the Retreat
State Hospital grounds. It lies in
Luzerne County, north and west of
Highway 11, and 18 miles south of
Wilkes-Barre.
The Game Commission recognized
the opportunity to increase the
public hunting grounds and quickly
availed itself of the free offer, made
by Welfare Secretary Harry Sha-
piro.
The newly-acquired tract is tim-
bered mountain land, is from 1200
to 1500 feet wide and about two
and one-half miles long. Lying as it
does in an areal of great human
population, it will be used and ap-
preciated by many hunters and
trappers.
| Deer Hide Sale
The Game Fund was recently in-
creased by a profitable sale of deer
| hides acquired by Pennsylvania
Game Protectors in the late months
of 1955 and early this year. The
following commendatory letter by
Logan J. Bennett, Executive Direc-
tor of the Game Commission, to
these officers tells the story.
Said- Dr. Bennett: “We have just
finished compiling the deerskins
collected by our officers and the re-
spective Divisions and sold to the
| highest bidder.

“It is gratifying to observe that
as of March 14, 1956, 2876 deer-
skins have been submitted from the
various Divisions to the Katzen firm
which submitted checks in the total
amount of $7,509.45 to cover these
skins. This figure represents a sub-
stantial increase over the $2,714.75
received in 1955 for a total of 2198
skins.
, “The results of this year’s sale
reflects not only the better price
received from initial bidding on
these items but also clearly demon-
strates considerable more care in
the preparation, handling and grad-
ing of the hides.”
Imported Furbearer On Loose
Late last winter, nutria belonging
to a man in Mercer County escaped
from their enclosures, says Game
Protector Arthur Biondi. He re-
ports: “These beaver-like animals
scattered all over the Shenango
Valley. Uninformed persons who
saw these animals, or caught them
in their traps, called my headquar-
ters asking what they were. These
people knew nothing of the animal.
Some wondered whether an un-
known creature was invading Penn-
