Aren't bear cubs cute as a button?
Plastic jar removed from Fla. bear cub's head
Sat Aug 14, 2:50 pm ET
OCALA, Fla. � A black bear cub in Florida affectionately known as "Jarhead" can finally enjoy a good meal.
A clear plastic container was removed from the 6-month-old cub's head after being stuck for at least 10 days. The cub poked its head into the jar when digging through trash in a neighborhood in central Florida.
Biologists say the cub was days away from death because the jar made it impossible to eat or drink. The team had to tranquilize the mother bear and then grab the cub to remove the jar from the bear's head.
The subdued mother was then put in a trap and the cubs followed. After she awoke and nursed the cubs, the bears were moved to a less populated area nearby.
We can all breathe a sigh of relief now. |

I love milktoast with honey.
Life is sweet and all is good with the world.
Please pass the soma. |

For the first time in weeks, I felt so relieved today I was able to bake up a batch of cream cheese cookies with apricot marmalade. Mmm-mmm good!
I'ma leave some out in case Jarhead wanders by. He must still be hungry.
It's been just a lovely day. |
