The 250-pound female black bear reportedly had the jar caught around her head for 28 days before its removal. The jar was part of a person's pet feeder that the bear had examined for food.
The jar reduced the bear's ability to see, eat and drink. It was able to continue eating somewhat by slipping its long tongue through the opening at the other end of the jar. A Florida bear seen in the wild with its head caught in a plastic jar has finally had the jar removed. In this photo, a young bear seemingly waves at the viewer with wet paws as it stands in an outdoor stream.The Florida Wildlife Commission began conducting night patrols in the area where the bear was seen, setting up trailer traps, leaving food pellets in a cage designed to close after the bear entered. The traps didn't catch it.
