Video: Black bear takes a tumble down a tree

A black bear in New York has had a bumpy ride back down to earth from high up a tree.

The bear was shot with a tranquiliser dart, but climbed even higher before it passed out.

And when the unconscious animal got stuck on a branch, authorities had to use force to remove it, helping it on its way to a trampoline below.

The bear's believed to be a repeat offender -- NBC reports that just two weeks ago it was removed from another tree in a nearby county.
