If you are an animal lover, the Michigan Department of Natural Resources has a job that could be just perfect for you. How would you like to be employed to be a "Bear Cub Cuddler"?

The DNR needs people to fill this type of job to help orphaned bears survive. Part of the process involves finding a mother bear who has young cubs and placing the orphaned bear with her.


Bear cuddlers are warned that cubs still have sharp claws you need to watch out for. The cubs also smell like a wet, musky dog. If you can get past the claws and the smell, this job might be the one for you!
