Hydro workers coax baby bear down from electrical pole

PORT HARDY, British Columbia, June 3 (UPI) -- A baby bear in Canada was able to safely climb down from an electrical pole with the help of a crew of British Columbia Hydro workers.

BC Hydro shared video of the rescue in Port Hardy on Twitter, showing an employee reaching out from a lift and using a pole to gently prod the bear and guide it back to the ground.

The bear becomes too nervous to climb at several moments throughout the 30-second video but eventually made its way down from the 50-foot-high electrical pole with some encouragement from the Hydro workers.

According to the tweet, the Hydro crew de-energized the pole before attempting the rescue to ensure the safety of both the bear and the worker.
