A bear took his fame to new heights, after he climbed 50 feet up a fir tree.
Takoda the black bear climbed a Douglas fir tree in his enclosure at Oregon Zoo and showed he is remarkably sure-footed.
He has since been called an ambassador for his species by his keepers and is a popular character at the zoo.
His name means “friend to all” in Sioux, a native American language, and he can be recognised by a large white “V” on his chest.
Discovered as an orphaned cub in Montana, Takoda found a new family and became an ambassador for his species.
