Obsessed is an understatement! One of my favorite places on earth is the Vince Shute Wildlife Sanctuary.

It is just a short drive from the Duluth area, located in Orr. Bears are my favorite animal and I went to the sanctuary for the first time a few years ago.

Of course, it instantly became my favorite place ever. You get on a bus that takes you to the sanctuary where you are surrounded by the cutest bears of all time.

Whether a bear lover or an animal lover in general, there is no place like it. And, something HUGE just happened at the sanctuary!

The best part is the bear was caught on camera. According to their post, the bear arrived on April 6th. One lucky fan of the attraction guessed pretty close to when the first bear would arrive and got a shirt.

The Bears Are Out At Vince Shute Wildlife Sanctuary

Employees with the sanctuary do not believe this is one of their usual bears, although they say it is hard to tell for sure just based on the camera footage. They have also started putting food out for the bears.
