The other day, while driving just outside of the town of Cross Fork, Pennsylvania, park ranger Sarah Lindgren noticed something that made her hit the brakes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There, just off the wooded road, was an animal in clear distress.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI saw what looked like a bear with something on its head lying motionless on the berm of the road,\u201d Lindgren told The Dodo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Moving closer toward the animal, Lindgren\u2019s suspicions were confirmed \u2014 it was a bear cub with his head trapped firmly in an empty plastic jar. Then came the first signs of life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAs I walked up to the cub, [he] picked up [his] head,\u201d Lindgren said. \u201cSo, I went into super sneak mode to approach [him].\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Given the bear\u2019s location, clearly visible on the roadside, it was almost as if he was seeking out help from a passing motorist. And that\u2019s exactly what the bear received.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With a firm tug, Lindgren was able to free the cub\u2019s head from the jar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAfterward, [he] was very disoriented and gave me a distrustful look,\u201d Lindgren said. \u201cI started to encourage [him] to move on so [he] wouldn\u2019t get hit by a car.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When the bear moved a safe distance away, Lindgren notified the Pennsylvania Game Commission about what had happened.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Throughout the incident, Lindgren never saw the bear\u2019s mother. But, at an estimated 8 months of age, the cub is considered by officials to be old enough to survive independently, Lindgren said. In fact, he may have already been doing so.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI believe if the mother had been involved, she would have been able to remove the container herself,\u201d Lindgren added. \u201cI would imagine that [he] was used to being alone.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fortunately, Lindgren spotted the bear again a few days after the rescue, noting that he appeared to be regaining his strength.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI am optimistic [that he\u2019ll survive]!\u201d Lindgren said. \u201cI did what I legally could do, and I\u2019m happy that I came along to help.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
