June 4 (UPI) — Wildlife officials in Colorado said they had to calm a mother bear so they could rescue her cub from a fence.
Colorado Parks and Wildlife, Northeast Region, said on social media that officers responded to a report of a bear cub stuck in a fence in Evergreen.
“Kids can get into anything, even bear cubs,” the post said.
The officers calmed the mother bear, who was perched in a nearby tree, so she would not interfere with the rescue.
The officers were then able to use a catch pole to hold the bear cub still while they cut it free from the wires.
The rescuers used a K9 officer to chase the bears from the area once the rescue was complete.
“A complicated rescue with a happy ending,” the post said.
