If you even THINK about starting a wildfire, this lil cutie will be on your conscience.
So, it's Smokey Bear's 80th birthday on Aug. 9, which is a really long time to be preventing wildfires.But I actually learned recently that Smokey isn't a fictional character, and started out as a real bear with a backstory that should get the Hollywood treatment ASAP.In 1950, a wildfire in New Mexico was spreading rapidly when firefighters got a report of a lone bear cub near the fire line.
A rancher among the firefighters agreed to take the cub back to his property.From there, a New Mexico Department of Game and Fish ranger heard about the cub and came to the rancher's home to escort the cub on a plane to Santa Fe to get it treated for its burns. Look at the little cartoon bear with a sling! 💔When the press got a hold of the bear's story, support for the cub poured in, as well as letters asking how the bear was doing.
