    ELY, Minn. (AP) — A 3-year-old bear in Minnesota has given birth to two cubs before an Internet audience.

    Lynn Rogers of the Wildlife Research Institute, affiliated with North American Bear Center, said in a news release that Jewel gave birth in a den near Ely to the first cub at 7:22 a.m. Sunday, and a second at 8:40.

    It's not the first time Rogers and his colleagues have monitored hibernating pregnant black bears.

    In 2010, they recorded the birth of a bear named Hope in 2010. A Hunter killed Hope last year.

    Jewel is the younger sister of Hope's mother, Lily.

    Lily also gave birth last year to two cubs named Faith and Jason.

      Lets hope this time BOTH cubs survive. I enjoyed keeping up with their journey even though there was sadness too.

      A hunter killed a cub? For what reason?...his kid's little room. Jerk.
      • infoManiac 4 mths ago
        Why would the hunter want a little bear kids room?

      If the cubs were delivered by U P S or FEDX, they would have been thrown into the den.

        Or left outside in the rain.

      "In 2010, they recorded the birth of a bear named Hope in 2010."

      So wait. This happened in 2010?

      too bad I had hoped Hope would kill a hunter.....what conceivable joy can someone get out of killing something. and by the way have you ever noticed how seldom you will see , for example, a brain surgeon as a hunter? It seems to be the sport of the "I Q: limited

      Those Minnesota bears! Our Alaska bears have more sense than to be puttin' all their personal stuff on the Internet. So there!

      I don't quite understand killing bears, sharks, wolves or other predator species for sport. Then we cull out herds because of over population. Saw a stuffed bobcat that someone shot, after it had come in and started to feed on a deer that they had shot from their blind. I would make a terrible hunter. I would more thrilled taking a photograph of the bobcat then killing the deer.

      How does the bear let people know what it named her cubs?
    • Deb  •  4 mths ago
      Within the field, it's suggested that biologists don't give names to study animals, only numbers. It allows for less anthropomorphism and the desire to interfere, and lessens the blow when and if the animal dies, which can always happen. It would have been better to lose BBA3, for instance, than Hope.

      If you have the chance, please check the fb page of this organization, you will be blown away! Lynn Rogers is a very special man. I'm watching the life of Jewel and her cubs - and even thought the camera doesn't give the best picture, it is fascinating none the less. Watch and learn. Nature is awesome!!

      Nobody cares about the bears' privacy.

      Don't get to excited. Some guy will set up a bait station, sit back in his lounge chair with a beer in hand and shoot them for fun like what happened to the last one. It's a sport don't you know. Bear baiting that is. It takes a skilled hunter to sit there and wait for so long for a bear to come in for a free, er last meal. Bear meat tastes great too. Tastes just like dog.

      Why? Why online? I know the bear doesn't understand the concept whatsoever and doesn't give a crap, but that just seems weird to be putting on the internet. 0_o

      The bear was thinking, "Man, who do I have to maul to get some privacy around here?"

      Why don't they put the murders online as well so people can watch them being killed?
