A family in Wyoming saw a bear cub without its mother in their backyard looking for food. They called the Game and Fish people who came out and said the cub probably wouldn't make it through the winter by itself. Shortly after that the cub climbed a tree so they shot it with a tranquilizer gun and got underneath it with a safety tarp to catch it. In order to help it survive the cub was sent to a bear rehab center to get it fat and healthy enough to be released next spring.
