But this bear was much younger. At his age, Daniels said, he should still be following his mother closely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Instead, he seemingly appeared on his own in a Russellville backyard on North Inglewood Avenue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Wildlife officials checked with neighbors and police for any sign that an adult female bear had also been seen nearby. Nothing turned up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Daniels said the cub appeared healthy and had been eating recently. If its mother had been killed by a vehicle, hunter or some other cause, he believes it would have happened fairly recently.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Even then, he said, cubs normally stay somewhere near the area where they became separated from their mother.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cAgain, it\u2019s odd,\u201d Daniels said. \u201cThe location is odd.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>First problem: getting him out of the tree<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Game and Fish were called in by Russellville Police after they first verified the presence of the furry visitor around 9 a.m. on Tuesday. The challenge was figuring out how to retrieve a small bear that was perfectly comfortable staying above everyone else.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Daniels said his first choice was also to avoid tranquilizing the bear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With a cub that small, Daniels said, there are added concerns about drug dosage, possible reactions and even the relative size of the dart itself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So Daniels went up after him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Using climbing gear normally used while checking bear dens during the winter, Daniels climbed the tree and tried to secure the cub with a catch pole.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The cub was not particularly interested in cooperating.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cHe was a little bit too squirrely for me,\u201d Daniels said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Each time Daniels got close to securing him, the bear backed away. Eventually, the cub climbed farther out on a limb where Daniels couldn\u2019t safely follow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Plan B became the tranquilizer dart, which worked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Daniels said the dart hit cleanly, the cub had no bad reaction and officials were able to get him safely out of the tree and reverse the medication.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Now comes the test<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Getting the bear down solved the first problem. The next one has to be solved by the cub itself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Daniels said there unfortunately isn\u2019t a way to replace the protection the cub would normally receive from its mother.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cHe should be able to find his own food,\u201d Daniels said. \u201cIt\u2019s more of a concern of whether he can stay away from larger male bears.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Daniels said the cub does have a chance of surviving on his own, though he acknowledged the odds are not as good as they would be if the bear were still with its mother.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Bears around Russellville aren\u2019t becoming more common<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As strange as seeing a bear in a Russellville tree might seem, Daniels said it doesn\u2019t appear to be part of any surge in bears wandering into town.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The area does have a healthy black bear population, but the number of calls involving bears passing through neighborhoods has remained fairly normal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Most happen in late spring and early summer, when young males strike out on their own and occasionally find themselves passing through somebody\u2019s yard \u2014 or running into somebody\u2019s dog.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That last part frequently explains the tree.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Daniels said a black bear\u2019s instinct when threatened is often to climb. So a bear traveling through a neighborhood can suddenly find itself treed when a dog gives chase.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And if a bear does show up in your yard, Daniels\u2019 advice is simple: don\u2019t try to solve the problem yourself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe best thing to do is just leave it alone and give us a call,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For Russellville\u2019s wandering cub, at least, the unexpected trip into town ended with a ride back to much more bear-friendly surroundings.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RUSSELLVILLE, Ark. \u2014&nbsp;A young black bear that found itself high in a tree in the middle of Russellville on Tuesday apparently had wildlife officials wondering the same thing as everyone [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":1208,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_breakdance_hide_in_design_set":false,"_breakdance_tags":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[401],"tags":[],"city":[375],"class_list":["post-1209","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-outdoors","city-russellville"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.8 -
