Pennsylvania Park manager Sarah Lindgren is no stranger to wildlife, so when she saw a bear cub in distress, she knew exactly what to do.
Lindgren was driving through Cross Fork, a small village in northern Pennsylvania on Sunday when she spotted a young bear on the side of the road with a plastic container stuck on its head.She approached with caution as the cub slowly noticed her.
"I highly doubt that it would have survived another day without intervention. It was very weak and dehydrated," Lindgren said. "Not only that, but it was right along a paved road with a steep bank down to a stream. I would have to think that it would have drowned in the stream when the container filled up, been hit by a car, or died of dehydration within a day."
Lindgren looked around for its mom but said she was nowhere to be found. Luckily, the cub is old enough to survive on its own if its mother doesn't return, she explained. The Pennsylvania Game Commission says black bears typically leave the den at around 3 months old and are weaned from their mothers by 7 months.
"In Pennsylvania, we have the PA Game Commission. They were alerted to the situation afterward as there was no cell service. I have experience with wildlife, and it was in immediate danger," Lindgren told CNN.
