Animal Rescuers Save Bear Cub With a Bucket Stuck on Its Head for 3 Days

Visitors to the Wisp Resort got an interesting show when they saw a bear cub in an unusual prison. Because the poor cub somehow found a bucket stuck on his head. But he couldn’t get it off. And that began a three-day chase.

See how these animal rescuers save a bear cub…

Trial of the Bucket Head Bear Cub

Onlookers in McHenry, Maryland, were treated to a rather interesting site. One of the area’s ursine residents, a 100-pound black bear cub, had managed to get its head stuck in a bucket.

Just Act Natural

In photos and videos that have been taken of the cub, the poor thing seems to be doing its best to appear nonchalant and calm. Perhaps the bear is hoping that if it acts chill enough, nobody will even notice its embarrassing predicament.

To the Rescue

Thankfully, enough people did notice this poor animal’s plight, and the local Wildlife and Heritage Service of the Maryland Department of Natural Resources took an interest in the cub. Even so, they had their work cut out for them as they tried to track the bear down.

Caught at Last

Finally, at McHenry’s Wisp Resort, rescuers managed to track down and tranquilize the poor animal. This unique event just happened to coincide with the resort’s annual fall festival, and made for a pretty interesting unplanned spectacle.
