SPOKANE, Wash. A black bear cub that was stuck in a tree on the South Hill is now out of the tree and has been released.
Staci Lehman, communications manager for the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife said the bear came down from the tree on its own on Friday night and went into the trap they set out. Two officers then released it in the Northeast area of Spokane County.
The 1-year-old cub was found stuck 80 feet up in a tree in the area of 30th and Arthur, and was first spotted after someone noticed it through a doorbell camera on Wednesday morning.

SPOKANE, Wash. A black bear cub was found to be stuck in a tree on the South Hill.
In the area of 30th and Arthur, the 1-year-old cub is reported to be stuck at 80 feet up in the tree, and can’t be darted out of concern for people in the area and the bear’s safety.
“It’s so hot and has been so hot that it’s not safe to dart animals in that kind of weather,” said Staci Lehman, communications manager for the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife.
It is believed that the bear has been up in the tree for two days. A trap was put out, but the cub did not go to it.
