LA VERNE, Ca. (WFLA) – Police in La Verne, California encountered a bear cub wandering around the woods with its head stuck in a jug, a scenario reminiscent of the storybook character Winnie the Pooh, who frequently got his head stuck in a jar full of honey.
The bear was captured on video Saturday at 8:30 am, thrashing around, clawing at its head and using a fence to pop off the plastic jug.
A police officer held the cub down while a wildlife agent removed the jug from its head.
Once freed, the cub was seen running back into the wild.WHAT OTHERS ARE CLICKING ON:AMBER ALERT: 16 YEAR OLD KIDNAPPED IN SOUTHERN CALIFORNIAHEALTH ALERT: ANTIBIOTIC-RESISTANT STD GONORRHEA ON THE RISEVIDEO: WOMAN CHARGED IN KILLING OF 4 CHILDRENU.S. NUCLEAR PLANTS TARGET OF CYBER THREATS PRINGLES RELEASES TOP RAMEN CHICKEN FLAVOR >> MORE TOP STORIES
