The Greater Vancouver Zoo says it is now home to three grizzly bear cubs that would have otherwise been euthanized.

It says in a statement the cubs from Alberta were orphaned when their mother was shot by hunters.

The zoo says the triplets are adapting well to their new surroundings and are having fun discovering their new habitat while the zookeepers have been enjoying caring for the curious cubs.
