The Big Bear Alpine
Zoo is one of only two alpine zoos in the United States. As San Bernardino
County's only zoo, it also supports the County's wildlife rehabilitation
efforts, offering sick, injured or orphaned wild animals a safe haven --
temporarily while they heal or permanently if they are unable to survive on
their own. Many of the animals brought
to us for rehabilitation are successfully released back into their native
environment. Those that remain with us on exhibit are either too injured or
have been imprinted by humans and cannot be released back into the wild to care
for themselves.
