Bear trouble

TWO BLACK bear cubs, one with a jug  on its head, running along a roadway in Ocala National Forest, Florida. The black bear cub in Florida affectionately known as “jarhead” can finally enjoy a good meal. The clear plastic container was removed from the six-month-old cub’s head after being stuck for at least ten days. The cub poked its head into the jar when digging through trash in a neighbourhood in central Florida. Biologists say the cub was days away from death because the jar made it impossible to eat or drink. The team had to tranquillise the mother bear and then grab the cub to remove the jar from the bear’s head. The photo was released by the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission recently.
