Florida wildlife officials armed with dish soap made several attempts to free a baby bear whose leg was stuck in the crook of a tree.
A Florida Fish and Wildlife officer saw the baby bear whose leg was stuck in a tree and called a bear biologist to help the poor guy.
According to a Facebook post, both spent two hours trying to pry the tree limbs apart, all while trying to avoid the bear's sharp claws and teeth – even soaking the bear's leg in dish soap at some point – but nothing was working.
Officials said as a last resort, they found a local resident who was able to lend them a chainsaw.
The officer was able to cut one of the tree limbs entrapping the cub who was able to then reunite with its mother.
