If yellow is lab drowning in the ocean, what would you do? I bet jump and save his life, is not it? So what if the victim was 400 pounds bear? What to do then? Well after a huge black stray in to Florida community and accidentally went to the sea after being shot with a tranquilizer, hero stepped up to do the unthinkable, and save one of the most dangerous animals on the planet.
After the report was called in about wild bears roaming around, it was decided to be tranquilized and moved back into the woods.
But, darts sent a bear in a panic, and he ran toward the ocean, avoiding officers.
He soon began swimming out into the bay. But further he went, the more he became drowsy.
That's when Adam Warwick, biologist with the Wildlife Commission, knew he had to act.
Diving into the ocean, he swim on front of the bear and blocked his path to the open water.
"It was a spur of the moment decision. I had a lot of adrenaline pumping when I saw the bear in the water."
Onlookers were shocked as the 400lb bear could have torn him limb from limb normally.
The bear tried to step at Adam to climb on it and stay on the surface, but he lost the ability to move his feet.
Staying calm, the biologist grabbed the bear around the neck and brought him towards the shore.
Everyone held their breath as Adam dragged the nearly-400-pound bear twenty-five yards to land.
And then finally he got land under the groggy bear's paws.
Amazingly, he only suffered one minor cut, and scrapes from barnacles on his feet.
Eventually others came out to help both man and beast with the final few years to shore.
The team was able to use a tractor bucket to transport the poor guy back to his home in Osceola National Forest.
Something tells me he'll have quite a story to tell his bear friends.
Hopefully they believe him!
I hope that this bear knows how lucky he is that the legendary hero like Adam Warwick was there to save his life. I hate to think what would have happened if it was not close. I'm sure karma will pay Adam back soon. H/T: Distractifi Please share Adam's story with your friends.
