COLORADO — Three Colorado police officers responded to a trapped animal on Tuesday, Aug. 18, and what they found is something they will probably never see again.

Police rescued a small bear whose head was trapped in a protein tub. The officers could not remove the tub at first, but after sedating it and taking it to their station, were able to safely remove the tub, and set the bear free.

The Colorado Springs Police Department posted pictures to their Twitter account, chronicling the episode, which can be found here.
