A male bear has been stuck in a road ditch in Wanaska, Minnesota, for three days, and officials are working to rescue it. The bear may have an injured paw, and officials may need to use a crane to lift it out of the ditch. Nate Johnson, who runs a non-profit corporation to help rescue bears, has been at the scene and reports that the bear is in a slow state due to hibernation and is not moving. Johnson believes the bear’s paw is injured, but he is not sure how it happened. Officials plan to lift the bear out of the ditch and take it to a veterinarian in Garrison, Minnesota, to assess its condition and determine if it can be rehabilitated. Dr. Katie, the vet who will examine the bear, has experience working with baby bear cubs. The bear is not pregnant, contrary to some reports. Johnson says that if officials decide to dig around the bear more, it will likely need to be tranquilized. The DNR will be on hand to assist with the rescue effort.

Hope he makes it out.
Unlike Trans human males. Male bears cannot get pregnant.
One bear is out of the hole and safe not injured it looked like he was trying to make his den but did not Finnish in time or? But the DNR are planning to relocate the bear and taking to a vet to get an exam to make sure he's ok.
The bear is a male bear and id be really surprise if its a female because usually males leave the den and wander around and the female stay in the dens
How can he be sure this bear don't identify as a sow? He certainly could be pregnant if that's the case.
As rusty says he may not even identify as a bear for all we know.
I a.m sure he'd be just fine if he can get out of the hole after it's been shoveled he's just a little weak from trying to dig his own way out of the hole and it's still in hibernation season So it's combination why he's a little week and tired
At this time the Bears moving around in the whole face in different directions if we could get more shovelers up here to help dig the bear out
