Kicker: Bearly saved

MARY REICHARD, HOST: Well, kids will be kids and they’re going to roam and climb.

And outside Harrisburg, Pennsylvania this week, a young bear cub did the same, moseying around a suburban neighborhood, then climbing up a tree.

Animal welfare came to the rescue. They tranquilized the bruin and waited. One man was videotaping:

REPORTER: Oh, it looks like he’s coming. Oh, and he fell! Wow! Wow! That happened so suddenly! It just fell right out of the tree.

Fell right out and landed on a giant blue tarp, unharmed after a 20 foot fall from the tree.

They moved it to a bear enclosure and released it into an area in central Pennsylvania where it can roam to its heart’s content.

MYRNA BROWN, HOST: Beary nice!

REICHARD: It’s The World and Everything in It.
