NEVADA — A staff of firefighters and wildlife officials in Nevada attained a “bear-y” important rescue mission Wednesday.
A bear was “spooked up a tree in front of a residence” Wednesday early morning in Reno, according to a Facebook article from the Nevada Office of Wildlife.
“Concerning the occupied streets, persons, and all the attractants that can result in a bear to shed its normal anxiety of human beings, a neighborhood is not a safe and sound area for a bear!” wrote the department.
The department’s sport wardens and biologists aided remove the bear from the tree, the Fb post says. They teamed up with firefighters from the Reno Hearth Department to tranquilize the bear and safely and securely catch it in a tarp.
Shots posted by both of those organizations display officers in a suburban community patiently waiting at the base of a tree with a red tarp. The photos display the bear clinging to branches in advance of slipping seemingly head-initially on to the tarp.
The Nevada Division of Wildlife claimed officials would release the bear in its organic habitat Thursday. The company did not straight away answer to an inquiry by CNN about the animal’s release.
Black bears are the only species of bear that dwell in Nevada, according to the department’s web-site. The company advises Nevadans to use bear-resistant garbage containers to keep away from attracting animals and critters, lock windows and doors and keep foods out of cars.
