CABLE, Wis. ( KBJR /Gray News) - A Wisconsin family is glad they had a role in rescuing a bear that had a jar stuck on its head for more than a week.

For nearly two weeks, a black bear roamed Wisconsin with a jar stuck to her head. Unable to eat and drink with the jar constricting her breathing, the bear had been spotted multiple times in late July in the Iron River area, according to the Chequamegon Humane Association.

A bear observed with its head stuck in a plastic container in Bayfield, Douglas and Sawyer counties of northern Wisconsin is now free, according to the state Department of Natural Resources.

The orphaned siblings, approximately 6 to 7 months old, had been seen wandering alone in a neighborhood in Calaveras County for several days.
