A volunteer rushed to the site from the society’s headquarters in Smithers, B.C., an eight-hour drive, and found the bear at the base of a tree, covered in snow. Society co-founder Angelika Langen says in a video posted on social media that the female cub is “doing well” and that her survival is a “Christmas miracle.” Get daily National news Terms and Conditions and Privacy Policy .
