This bridge is on the Old Donner Pass Highway. It has a spectacular view of Donner Lake and Donner Pass on Route 80. Do you see the bear?

A bear was walking across Rainbow Bridge (Old Hwy 40 at Donner Summit,
Truckee) on Saturday when two cars also crossing the bridge scared
the bear into jumping over the edge of the bridge. Somehow the bear caught the ledge and was able to pull itself to safety. 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, fell
into the net, lowered, then woke up and walked out of the net.

There is a moral to this story you know; this old bear made a wrong move and found he was hanging by his nails. Somehow he was able to pull himself up onto the ledge where he saw he was in a very bad, impossible situation and what did he do? Yep, he took a nap and sure enough the situation took care of itself while he was asleep.

The moral is that when confronted with a bad situation sometimes the best solution is to take a nap....

Aww that bear is cute. I would gave him a stick of dynamite surrounded by hamburger meat. He would have blown up and I would've filmed the whole thing at put it on you tube.

The only "retard" I see is NOT an innocent Bear who can't possibly fathom 'bridges'/'cars'/'nets' or any other man-made device inflicted on nature!
How can a Bear comprehend our world when he/she is so far removed from it?
The only "retard" is someone who would label an innocent creature thusly so.
He was just minding his own business, trying to 'forage' for nuts/berries/honey (I'm guessing) when mankind startled the shit out of him (so to speak).
I'm just glad someone with brains came along and undid the situation 'we' put him in!
Thanx for the story, retard.

Dude . . . chill.

Lolz, funny story tho. Glad they rescued the bear ^_^
