It took a state biologist, firefighters and police about 45 minutes to free the bear's head - pic
Awww.... To the biologist, firefighters and police :yourock:



In this Sunday, April 18, 2010 photo released by the Vermont Department of Fish and Wildlife, a 120-pound Vermont black bear is seen with its head stuck in a milk can in Reading, Vt. It took a state biologist, firefighters and police about 45 minutes to free the bear's head from the can after the animal was found late Sunday morning off Vermont Route 106 in Reading. Officials estimate the bear had its head stuck in the old-fashioned milk can for at least six hours before it was found. Fish and Wildlife Biologist Forrest Hammond says the bear had been running and bumping into trees and boulders.

2. Aw. Hope bear moves on to areas with more food so he doesn't have to go sticking his head
in milk pails.

5. What was in the tied-off milk can that attracted the bear?
I'd make a "honey/Pooh" joke here, but I'd really like to know.

7. Reminds me of my dog
but of course, this wasn't nearly as serious. He dug the ice cream container out of the trash. He's a goofball!

11. Didn't this happen to Winnie the Pooh?
I swear he got his face stuck in a honey pot.

Coincidence...I think not!
