LAKE COUNTY, FLORIDA (WOFL FOX 35) – Wildlife officials took a black bear cub for a walk in the woods Friday afternoon. They hoped to attract its mother.

The mother and cub were separated Thursday during a brush fire near the Royal Trails subdivision about northeast of Eustis.

“He was screeching really loud waiting for her to come and I was just hoping that mama bear wasn’t going to come out!” said 17-year-old Natorie Borst, who told reporters that she wants to be a conservationist one day.
