After some teamwork, crews were able to loosen the net and make sure the mom gave them a safe space they needed to work, stated CDFW. Wildlife officers and biologists were able to safely free the cub in just five minutes.
'The little one darted up a nearby tree, and after a quick reunion, both bears wandered peacefully back into the wild,' said CDFW.
