A tiny bear in Colorado needed help from wildlife experts after getting trapped in a dumpster, and the rescue was all caught on video.
According to Colorado Parks and Wildlife, the bear cub became trapped in the Roxborough area, just south of Denver. Along with local Sheriff’s Deputies, they decided to intervene with a minimal approach and set up a makeshift ladder. The animal quickly figured out how to climb out.
This story has a happy ending, and the bear cub quickly located its mother according to the wildlife officials.
Officials also noted that this is a good reminder to dispose of food waste properly, especially if you live near bears. Anything edible left in an open container like this dumpster could attract wildlife.
