A bear cub pulled from a tree in Asheville, North Carolina last spring by individuals seeking selfies has been successfully released back into the wild after months of rehabilitation, according to the North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission (NCWRC).
The female cub, now fitted with a GPS tracking collar, was released in a remote area of western North Carolina, WRAL reported. Data from the collar shows she is adapting well to her natural habitat and is expected to find a den for the winter.
