Mother bear dies during capture at New Mexico golf course, leaving two cubs

A wildlife capture operation at one of Albuquerque’s best-known private golf clubs ended tragically this week when a mother bear died, leaving behind two cubs that officials plan to relocate. A wildlife capture operation at Tanoan Country Club in Albuquerque, New Mexico, ended tragically when a mother bear died, leaving behind two cubs. The cubs will be relocated to a suitable habitat away from populated areas. The incident occurred during the sedation and trapping process, which was assisted by Albuquerque Fire Rescue and the New Mexico Department of Wildlife. The course was designed by former PGA Tour player Bruce Devlin and architect Robert von Hagge and features three separate nine-hole layouts. The need for rehabilitation depends on the animals' health and weight. As bears increasingly make their way into populated areas, Irankar Horak, executive director of the Land of Enchantment Wildlife Foundation, said residents can help in discouraging animals from lingering around neighborhoods.
