Bear stuck with jar over head for two weeks

A black bear spotted in the Thunder Bay area with a plastic jar on its head has had the container stuck for two weeks, wildlife officials say.

Just before noon on Tuesday, Amethyst Harbour resident Rob Paterson spotted a young bear passing by his property with a clear jar “jammed right on his head.”

Two weeks ago, the ministry received a report of a bear with a jar on its head from a resident in Hurkett, Ont. — more than 30 kilometres northeast of Amethyst Harbour. Officials believe it is the same bear.
