Dear WW: but that doesn't tell us much about the critter.
It did remind me of how big brown mama bears wean their cubs. They drive them up a tall tree, and cubs, not having done much climbing before, are afraid to come down until Mama is long gone.

OK, so it really is ursus solaris, or Latin to that effect.
