No, grizzly cub twins Scout and Montana haven’t committed any crimes. It’s their mother, a furry freegan, who’s the delinquent. Idaho authorities had to capture the whole family after mama bear repeatedly trespassed in search of trash.

Mama’s been shipped off to Washington State University’s veterinary school to be studied. But the school couldn’t accommodate her babies, too, because they’re going to be ten feet long and a thousand pounds when they grow up.

Returning the cubs to the wild was not an option because of all the bad habits they’ve learned from their mother. Idaho officials placed the cubs temporarily in the Montana Wildlife Rehabilitation Center in Helena, but warned that if no permanent home could be found, the grizzlies might have to be euthanized.

Luckily for Scout and Montana, though, the San Diego Zoo happened to have “a spare grotto in Bear Canyon,” as the Los Angeles Times reports, thanks to the recent death of an Alaskan brown bear named Spanky. So Scout and Montana have taken up residence in a swanky 4,500-square-foot grotto complete with moat, waterfalls, grass and trees. Not bad for a pair of bears who were on the road to becoming juvenile delinquents. Now they’re well on their way to becoming cub scouts.
