The bear was originally spotted on June 13 in Wears Valley and finally on Monday the cub, who had previously been spotted with a female bear and siblings, the cub was alone. TWRA officials found the cub halfway up a tree and pulled its head free from the food container which was most likely pretzels or cheese balls according to TWRA officials.
