October 5, 2007: Bear survives bridge encounter

http://cellar.org/2007/bear1.jpg

"He bearly made it", says xoB passing along this set, confirmed by Snopes. The original text that is going around:

Quote:

The 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.

hmm . . . Rainbow Bridge is term for the place where animals go when they die. (based on a poem, I think) Guess he decided he wasn't ready to go yet?

Question: After the last picture, was the camera retrieved from the bear's stomach, or did he just eat the photographer?
