A bear needed to be rescued from an L.A. Six Flags after it managed to trap itself in between two vehicles at the theme park.
Firefighters worked for hours alongside other teams of help to free the bear and it has now been transported to safety.
The bear somehow found itself roaming the backlot of the Six Flags Magic Mountains park on Thursday, May 5, according to the County of Los Angeles Fire Department.
After being stuck between two Conex trailers, it found itself unable to get out by itself. The fire department was joined by Heavy Rescue 103, Urban Search and Rescue (USAR) 135, California Fish and Game, and the Los Angeles County Department of Animal Care and Control in a bid to free the bear.
Together, they successfully worked for several hours in a rescue mission. USAR 135 used its specialist equipment to move one of the trailers in order to gain access to the bear, which had been sedated.
The bear was then prepared for transport by the team at California Fish and Game who relocated it. It's currently unconfirmed exactly where the bear was moved to.
Newsweek has contacted California Fish and Game and the County of Los Angeles Fire Department.
In California, black bears are the only species of bear with large populations and they, according to the California Department of Fish and Wildlife, provide "many ecosystem benefits and are an important part of California's unique biodiversity."
The California Department of Fish and Wildlife runs a black bear program in order to conduct scientific research and population monitoring on the local population, in order to inform "big game management, species management and habitat conservation plans."
This animal's theme park adventure certainly isn't the only time a bear has found itself in human-like scenarios that it likely shouldn't.
Just last week in Connecticut a homeowner awoke in the night to find a bear sitting in the passenger seat of his mother-in-law's car. The car had been "totaled" by the bear.
Resident Cody Gillotti had been relaxing inside when he saw the car's light turn on and decided to investigate.
The bear, as shown in footage, was sitting in the passenger seat simply peering through the windscreen at Gillotti. "It was almost like a deer in headlights, it was just stunned," Gillotti told NBC. "It looked like a teenage kid that just passed out in his car after a long night of partying and his mom caught him."
Although the bear appeared calm and still in the video, it actually caused intense damage to the car and left it stinking "to high heavens."
