Reno Gazette-Journal :

Gracie is graduating from apple sauce to apples.

However, blueberries have become her favorite whole food.

The North American black bear, who arrived at Animal Ark Wildlife Sanctuary & Nature Center three months ago, has almost tripled in size.

She also has a dog as a cage companion.

The orphan bear is now 5 1/2 months old. She was brought to Animal Ark northeast of Reno after wildlife officials were alerted that she was in a backyard in Golconda, a Humboldt County community east of Winnemucca.
