During March, Dr Marty Obbard, Research Scientist with the Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources is searching Algonquin Park for hibernating female bears and their offspring.
Dr Obbard and his research crew will be tranquilizing female bears that produced cubs during 2009 to assess mother and offspring's health. "Some yearlings we will be visiting will be fitted with expandable radio-collars so we can monitor their survival and movements in and possibly outside the Park" says Obbard.
Canadian comedian Rick Mercer joins Dr Obbard as they conduct bear research in Algonquin Park (2009 footage):
