In a heartwarming incident, a family recently saved a bear cub who was struggling to swim with a plastic container stuck on its head. Tricia Hurt on June 28 took to Facebook to share a video of the Hurt family helping the baby bear in Wisconsin, US. According to an international media outlet, the incident took place when Tricia and her family were fishing at Marshmiller Lake and they caught sight of the bear cub struggling to swim.
At first, the US-based family had thought it was a dog but going up closer they realised it was a bear. In the video posted, the black bear baby can be seen struggling to breathe with the huge plastic jar stuck to its head. While speaking to the media outlet, Tricia said that while her son manoeuvred the fishing boat to get closer to the animal, her husband leaned over the edge to grab the container in a bid to remove it.
