Sloth Bears Rescued

The sloth bear being freed from the poacher's snare

The Wildlife SOS team were responsible for releasing a female sloth bear from a snare outside Koratagere village in Karnataka. The snare was made up of a clutch wire that was altered with a fence wire. It had been used to tie up the large animal’s waist. The bear did its best to try and escape from the clutches of the snare but failed miserably.  The bear, fortunately, did not suffer severe injuries and was able to return to the forest in a short amount of time.
