Video Description: Cuts of a bear's raw, red paws flash across the screen with the text: “Remember those bears suffering from bears from the Thomas fire? Wildlife veterinarians from UC Davis used tilapia skin to treat them and they were released back into the wild.”  Various clips display the bears sleeping and crawling amidst long blades of grass and mossy rocks.  The video flashes forward to Jamie Peyton, who is aiding a horse who is suffering a burn on the face.
