Cbcnews.com “A black
bear who wandered onto the University of Colorado campus fell safely from a
tree after being tranquilized, and was later relocated to the nearby Rocky
Mountains.
State wildlife
official Jennifer Churchill said Friday that the 91-kilogram male bear was
tagged and taken to a remote area of ponderosa pines, oak brush and
chokeberry.”
I love this story. A
black bear up a tree, gets tranqed and falls out of said tree. It's great! Well, actually, it’s not so much the story I
love. But, this picture that was taken
at the scene:

How classic is this picture?
Everytime I look at it, it makes me laugh. The timing couldn’t have been more perfect. Don’t worry.
Don’t worry. The bear was
fine. So, you can laugh without feeling
all guilty inside.
Of course, the pic is becoming a bit of a meme, with people
photoshopping it and stuff. Stupid stuff mostly, but his has got to be the
funniest one of them all:

That was hilarious. I'm glad they had a net for him though. Even tough, bulky bears might not do so well with a dead weight fall from a tree!
ReplyDeleteagreed! there's a video out there of a bear falling from a onto a trampoline. that bear's landing wasn't as "clean" as this bear's landing. it was a bit of an "ouchie"...
Deletesad to report that it looks like the bear has been killed. :( sorry, Mr. Bear. i hope you don't mind if i still like your picture. it still makes me laugh...
