Bear Rescued

A bear was walking across Rainbow Bridge located on Old Hwy 40 at Donner Summit in Truckee, California on Sept 15, 2007 when two cars crossing the bridge, scared the bear into jumping over the edge of the bridge.


Instead of plunging to the ground the bear somehow caught

the bridge and was able to pull itself to safety on the ledge.


Can you spot it resting on the arch?

 

Authorities decided that nothing could be done to help Saturday night so they returned Sunday morning to find the bear

sound asleep on the ledge.

After securing a net under the bridge the bear was

tranquilized and he fell into the net.

Then the net, with the bear, was lowered to the ground.
 

Nearing the ground the bear regained consciousness.
 


When the bear completely woke up he walked out

of the net and back to the woods.
