The harsh Minnesota winter was too much for this bear! Wildlife officials rescued a bear that was hibernating in a ditch and became trapped in deep snow and ice. The Minnesota Department of Natural Resources said that bears occasionally hibernate above ground and that the melting snow can sometimes flood bears out of culverts. This bear's culvert started to flood and the bear got stuck. DNR officials said the 375-400 pound bear was safely relocated to a state game sanctuary to continue hibernating. 🐻❤️ #bear #bears #hibernating #winter #minnesota #wildlife #mn #mnwinter #snow #mnwx #weather #dnr #blackbear
