Reports from North-western Ontario seem to indicate the black bear who has spent more than 2-weeks with a plastic pickle jar stuck on his head, has managed to free itself.
The MNR office in Thunder Bay received a call from a resident who claims to have found a broken plastic container matching the description of the one first seen lodged on a bear’s head more than 2-weeks ago!
Hair analysis will be performed on the plastic jar for the presence of bear hair.
Another witness who saw the bear just two days ago and snapped a photo of it, claims it was in an entirely different area at the time and is sceptical of the jar found.
So there you go, the bear may or may not be free. I will keep you posted!
