Aug 2019. A cub can be heard crying from inside a metal dumpster. This curious cub tumbled into a trash receptacle near Lake Tahoe. The sibling cub tried to reach the trapped wailing bear. While their mother keeps watch, the bear’s sibling climbs but fails to open the heavy lid.
Placer County sheriff’s deputies responded after a King’s Beach motel reported the situation. Deputies Bryant, Staley and Nevins quickly came up with a game plan to free the cub from the dumpster. With the bear family a few paces away and watching from behind a tree, a deputy opens the container lid with a pole, while a second deputy quickly places a ladder inside the container. The deputies back away, allowing the cub to climb the ladder and scurry off to rejoin its family.
