Springfield, Colorado – The notorious Lake Tahoe, home-wrecking black bear known as “Hank the Tank,” has been captured and moved to a Colorado wild animal sanctuary. The 500-lb bear, who broke into 21 homes, was captured last week and it was determined that he is actually a she.
The bear will now be calling The Wild Animal Sanctuary home. Days ago the sanctuary welcomed their new guest, letting everyone know that Hank is now Henrietta:
WELCOME HOME! Hank the Tank (Henrietta).
Hank the Tank, the 500-pound Black Bear who gained fame for breaking into homes in South Lake Tahoe, California, has arrived at the Wild Animal Refuge near Springfield, Colorado. Hank – who was later found to be a female and now referred to as Henrietta – is doing well and is getting used to her new surroundings inside a temporary introduction enclosure which is located within a 230-acre forested habitat.
Thanking Governor Jared Polis and First Gentleman Marlon Reis for supporting the efforts to safely move the bear to a safe and appropriate sanctuary setting.
The sanctuary said:
We are excited to watch Henrietta thrive in her new home at the Wild Animal Refuge. She is a special bear; we know she will have a beautiful life with the best veterinary care possible and be able to live with others of her own species.
