A bear with a plastic jar stuck on its head has been freed by a passing family in the US.
The animal was swimming in Marsh-Miller Lake in Chippewa County, Wisconsin, when a family who had been out fishing passed it in their boat.
The family’s initial attempt to remove the jar from the “scared” bear was unsuccessful, but a second effort saw it liberated from the container.
“We saved our little bear… swim happy,” commented Mrs Hurt.
She said the animal made it back to shore safely after being freed on Sunday.
