Townsend, TN (WOKI) The second bear in three days has died at Appalachian Bear Rescue.
ABR officials Tuesday announcing that Burrito Bear passed away Monday night, October 9.
Curators have determined that there is some sort of illness traveling between the bears, and have called in University of Tennessee College of Veterinary Medicine doctors to look into it further.
Officials say other bears at ABR had tested positive earlier in the week for severe pneumonia which had spread from Flapjack, who died Friday.
They say Tamale, Burrito’s brother, is also very sick.
