Cheeky bear eludes captors
Updated 11.42 Tue Jun 10 2008
A bear cub has successfully escaped from his captors after being found sleeping on a car roof in Mexico.
The car owners called the authorities into the neighbourhood of Monterrey in the Mexican state of Nuevo Leon before dawn to tempt the bear away from his SUV.
Civil protection officers scrambled outside to set traps to lure the bear into a waiting cage with tuna, water and apples
Civil protection officers scrambled outside to set traps to lure the bear into a waiting cage with tuna, water and apples.
But they were unsuccessful with the bear running out of the garage five hours after its arrival - breaking through plastic nets set up by officers - and straight into a nearby forested area.
It was the second day in a row the bear had managed to give authorities the slip.
