One observer reported seeing the bear dunk its head, jar and all, into water and letting it seep through the claw holes into the jar to get a drink.

Wisconsin wildlife officials rescued a bear that had a plastic jug stuck on its head. The first reported sighting was in Sawyer County on July 26. Officials set several live traps based on sightings, but the bear was moving too far great of a distance each day for the traps to be successful.
