..It's happened again - yet another bear has got stuck in a tree.
This black bear was seen falling from a canopy above a residential street in Boston, Massachusetts, after being tranquilized by environmental police officers.
It plunged 80ft, but survived the ordeal with little more than a sore head.
A black bear is seen falling from a tree near Hammond Street in Brookline, Boston after being tranquilized by environmental police officers According to The Boston Herald, the 200lb bear was transported out of the residential area in Brookline to an 'undisclosed location'.
It is the fourth case of its kind this season, following reports in May of another bear that got stuck some 40-feet into a tree in Steamboat Springs, Colorado, and was tranquilised by authorities.
Also that month a 200lb animal was spotted in New York State backyards before climbing to a resting spot on a large branch about 15ft up.
The previous week, Department of Environmental Conservation officers tranquilized a bear in a tree in Albany. It was later released in rural Schoharie County.
It fared better than another black bear who took a plunge at a university campus also in Colorado.
Sore head: The 200lb bear survived the 80ft fall and was transported out of the residential area to an 'undisclosed location'
This stuck up a tree is the fourth case of its kind this season after incidents in Colorado and New York State
The tranquilized bear was taken away for treatment after the fall before being released
That 300-pound black bear was dubbed the ‘flying bear’ after pictures of it falling from a tree hit the internet, instantly becoming a meme.
Two tranquiliser darts were fired by wildlife officials at the animal on April 26, after it took residence in a tree on a University of Colorado campus.
It survived the fall, cushioned by a large black mat, and was taken to the wild and released. Sadly it was fatally struck by a car a week later.
..Two black bears have been caught on camera wrestling on the front lawn of a suburban home in Florida.
But residents seem unperturbed by the dangerous animals, and say they will not even consider moving away because of them.
In the video, the bears appear to be play-fighting on the ground and later while standing up.

Fighting: Two bears were filmed wrestling on the front lawn of a suburban home in Florida Grappling: The bears tussled aggressively for several minutes as they were filmed by Andrea Barnes
The fight spills over into nearby bushes and ends about two minutes later with both bears leaving in separate directions.
The bears were on Tammy Snell's lawn - but the Longwood resident insists that bears are just part of the scenery for the area.
She told the Orlando Sentinel that residents do not want to relocate the bears.
'We moved into their area,' she said. 'It's really like living in a zoo.'
Violent: But it was unclear whether the bears were wrestling in anger or just playfighting with each other
Common sight: But residents say the bears' presence is more of an attraction than a threat to them
Ms Snell added: 'They don't seem mean but we know they're not pets either. It's a part of living where we live.'
The amazing video was captured by Andrea Barnes, who lives across the street from Ms Snell.
The bear cub starts off trying to hoist himself him onto the beam, having slipped off before the camera started rolling
If you go down to the woods today… you won’t find this bear cub. He has taken up residence in a garage instead.
Check out this heartwarming video of the adventurous bear, squealing as he tries to find a way down from the beam he is perched upon.
He slips and swings monkey-style, clinging on with his front two paws and trying to hoist himself back up.
After a struggle he rights himself and starts to creep gingerly along the beam
After some fairly acrobatic moves he manages to get back in position on the pole and takes a short breather before edging gingerly along to try to find a safer way down.
Every now and again his paws slip and he finds himself on his belly, lacking the necessary grace of a trapeze artist.
With one leg hanging haphazardly from the beam he steals a glance at the ground and barks discontentedly at the distance.
Distracted by the noise of the garage door opening he slips once again
At that moment the garage door starts to slide upwards and the cub starts yelping excitedly.
When the camera next pans round to the entrance, momma bear is standing there, having come to the rescue and somehow managed to open the sliding door.
Or at least that’s what it looks like. The source of the video hasn’t yet been identified and her reaction is almost too human to be real.
She stands on her hind legs in the garage doorway, propping up the door with one paw, her head cocked slightly to one side disapprovingly as though saying ‘I told you it wasn’t a good idea!’
Dropping back down onto all fours and disappears behind a parked car.
The camera pans round and focuses on mommy bear, reaching up to open the garage door so that she can get at her cub
With encouragement from his mom the cub carefully lowers himself onto a ladder which is propped up against the wall
The bear shimmies down the ladder to safety and finally his ordeal is over
Seeing his mother gives the cub a courage boost and he shifts over toward a ladder propped up against the wall before carefully shimmying down.
Safely back down on solid ground he bounds over toward his mother, yapping furiously. Is that bear talk for ‘I didn’t mean to mom!’?
The video was posted on YouTube on Wednesday after the garage owner spotted it lurking in the shadows and has been viewed 5,700 times.
What isn’t explained is how the cub got in there in the first place, or whether he left with his mom, since the video cuts off without showing them leave.
Bleary-eyed and dozy, Palle-Jooseppi the brown bear is decidedly bad-tempered as he pokes his nose out of the snow to say hello to the world.
But who could blame him - this old beast has been asleep over winter and his biological alarm clock has just gone off.
Breaking through: Palle-Jooseppi has been in his den for months. this is the moment he emerged
Palle-Jooseppi is a mainstay of Ranua Zoo in Lapland, Finland, and he's just woken up from his winter hibernation.
Pictured yesterday emerging from his den, he hauled himself out of bed and, eventually, went for a short stroll. Then he decided to have a much-needed nap in a soft snow bank.
Although they are not full hibernators, and can be woken easily, brown bears do like to den in a protected spot, such as a cave, crevice, or hollow log, during the winter months.
They eat all summer long to gain weight for the winter months. And it shows, Palle-Jooseppi, who had been sleeping since October, weighs around 300lbs.
At last! Palle-Jooseppi is out, but exhausted after his big sleep he takes a much-needed nap
Hi bear! This friendly beast gives a good-natured greeting to a car full of passing visitors
Bears are not usually known for their good manners.
But this friendly chap has given a warm welcome to those visiting his wildlife reserve home.
A video of the huge Kodiak bear waving at sightseers has been a hit on the internet, with viewers delighted by his cheery demeanour.
Grizzly greeting: Living on a retreat for former showbiz animals, the bear is probably used to human company
The seven-second video shows visitors waving to the bear and the animal apparently returning the greeting.
It is believed to have been filmed at the Olympic Game Farm in Washington.
This wildlife sanctuary specialises in taking in animals which have previously been in showbusiness - which may explain why the bear is so happy to interact with humans.
Do I know you? A sightseer catches the bear's eye and waves enthusiastically
A look of recognition: The Kodiak bear seems surprisingly happy to return the greeting
Disney worked with the farm for many years, at a time when the world-famous studio produced a number of epic nature documentaries.
Web users have pointed out how similar the bear's behaviour is to that of humans, with one commenting: 'I love how he sort of goes "OH IT'S YOU!" before he waves.'
Kodiak bears - also known as Alaskan grizzlies - are one of the biggest species of bear, frequently weighing as much as 100 stone.
Furry fighters: The Sun Bears go at each other tooth and nail as they grapple on the floor of their enclosure at Zoo Miami in Florida while photographer Adrian Tavano caught the action
These two bears looked like professional wrestlers as they took it in turns to pin each other to the ground.
The playful Malayan Sun Bears - named after a golden yellow patch on their chest - grappled under a tree before rolling around on the floor.
They even bit and strangled each other during their five-minute battle, with the 250lb lighter-coloured one eventually coming out on top.
Aggressive: The bears showed a ferocious side, but did not use their sharp nails to much effect, so the fight was most likely a friendly one
Photographer Adrian Tavano, 39, was excited to capture the action at Zoo Miami in Florida.
He described it as 'something like a WWE fight'.
He said: 'I have never seen bears so agitated or wrestling in this manner before.
'They wrestled and rolled around, using choking manoeuvres and biting each other.
'They did not use their huge sharp nails because they live together at the zoo, so it was more friendly than fierce.'
Overpowered: During their five-minute rumpus, they even bit and strangled each other. The 250lb lighter-coloured one eventually came out on top
He added: 'The fight lasted for about five minutes. They were an even match but the one with the lighter fur won in my opinion.
'After the match, the black one ran on top of a large rock in their enclosure and the grey one was taunting him in a funny way.'
Adrian, from Miami, added: 'I was about 20 to 30 feet away.
'The bears were mildly aggressive but because it was a controlled environment I was not scared.'
The bears have 10-inch-long tongues that extend so they can eat termites in their hiding holes.
Too close for comfort? A Kamchatka brown bear inquisitively prods a handheld camera at the Kronotsky Nature Reserve in Russia
Staring into a camera with a mischievous glint, a bear inquisitively prods the lens with his nose.
But this isn't an image taken by a secured device operated from afar by remote control.
Instead, it was captured by a photographer with nerves of steel brandishing a handheld camera.
The stunning shot was one of several snapped by Igor Gushchin as he chronicled the behaviour of Kamchatka brown bears at the Kronotsky Nature Reserve in Russia.
The expedition caught the animals at the moment red salmon go for spawn, drawing the bears out.
His images also show other photographers getting up close and personal with the bears.
The 52-year-old said: 'All of us there are pretty experienced wildlife photographers - we have learned the behaviour of bears and are strictly guided by safety rules.
'But it's impossible to eliminate the risk of being so close to wild bears, and I wouldn't recommend anyone try and repeat this experience themselves.
In his element: These stunning shots were taken by photographer Igor Gushchin during a recent trip to the national park
'I was expecting to get some shots of the bears fishing into the lakes, but I never thought one would get so close to me as it did.
'The contact between humans and bears is so unusual, it's extremely rare to see.
'But it was such and incredible moment - I will never forget it.'
Mr Gushchin, from Moscow, has been photographing wild animals since 2005.
Bearing down: Mr Gushchin took this photo of another photographer seeking the perfect shot
But he almost never got to take these pictures as the bears in the Kronotsky region recently almost became extinct.
He said: 'About ten years ago, the bears were really rare - almost extinct with the "help" of poachers.
'But thanks to the selflessness of the nature defenders and workers of Kronotsky Nature Reserve the brown bears population was not only preserved but got substantially bigger.
'On the territory of the reserve there is no poaching at all now and the bears are free.'

Battle of the bears: A grizzly cub strikes a knockout blow to his brother's head as he battle for control of a large log
These adorable baby bears look just like they're playing King of the Castle - as they battle to knock each other off a log.
They spent hours at the game, wrestling on top of the tree trunk and pushing one another over like gladiators.
The little grizzly bears bopped each other over the head and even tried to bite one another with their tiny teeth as they practised their fighting skills.
Slap-down: The bear slips from the log after being smacked across the face by his sibling
They shuffled backwards and forwards, teetering on the splintered wood as they playfully tried to show who was boss.
Eventually one of the bears managed to shove his brother off the end of the log, leaving him clinging on comically.
Titanic struggle: The pair played for hours as photographer Claude Lecours watched in Halo Bay, Alaska
The cub, who was just a few months old, even tried to scramble up again but was thwarted by his victorious sibling.
After hours of play, the baby bears wore themselves out and scampered back to their patient mother for tea.
No holds barred: The bear even appeared to be biting his brother's shoulder as play got aggressive
The enchanting scene was caught on camera by photographer Claude Lecours, 49, who was visiting Halo Bay, Alaska.
Claude, a project manager from Beaton, near Toronto, Canada, said: 'It was unbelievable. It was a great thing to see.
Mummy bear: The two baby grizzlies returned to their mother after an afternoon of play
Let's try it out: They jump on, not knowing what's going to come next
These super-cute bear cubs just love hanging out.
Caught on camera swinging on a hammock, they make an adorable pair.
Unfortunately, the furry wild animals are also quite hapless - they take a tumble not once, but twice.
Plain sailing: Everything is ok for the bears so far, but the hammock is beginning to swing...
Oh no! Disaster has struck, one of them tumbles off, while the other hangs on for dear life
Footage of the bears was taken by a New Jersey woman in her garden. Incredibly, it was the second time bears have have come to play.
In 2006 she took a similar video showing a mother and her cubs. That time the mother showed her children how to do it though, managing to hang without falling off.
It's all over! Both bears end up on the ground after falling off the hammock

Little scrap: Two adorable bear cubs were seen having a brawl by tourists on a road at Hetch Hetchy Valley in Yosemite National Park, California
These two might have been fighting, but nobody watching on wanted to intervene as it was the cutest thing they’d ever seen.
Two adorable bear cubs were seen having a brawl by tourists on a road at Hetch Hetchy Valley in Yosemite National Park, California.
A video of the loveable cubs was uploaded to YouTube by ‘Jmolyneaux77’ and it has already proven a hit, with more than 30,000 views.
'That is the cutest,' one woman says, as the camera pans to show a bigger bear near the roadside watching what is happening.
‘They're like puppy size,’ another onlooker says. 'I want one,’ says one person watching the cubs, who were fighting in front of a parked car.
An onlooker says 'one of them is so small’, before joking: 'Oh please come to my car'. The cubs later go and follow an adult bear away from the road.
Great video: ‘They're like puppy size,’ one onlooker says. 'I want one,’ says another person watching the cubs, who were fighting in front of a parked car
Yosemite National Park rangers often have problems with bears who pick up food from rubbish left out or unsecured bins.
There have been more than 20 incidents this year alone - and 12 bears have been hit by vehicles so far in the park in 2011.
Yosemite covers nearly 1,200 sq miles - featuring waterfalls, deep valleys, meadows, ancient giant sequoias and a vast wilderness.
