He Refused To Watch This Bear Drown, So He Went In After
It
A 400 pound black bear wandered into a residential neighborhood in
Florida. Wildlife officers had to sedate the bear to safely
relocate him, and that's when things began to go horribly
wrong.
The tranquilizer dart sent the bear into a panic and he ran towards
the ocean, evading officers
As he swam further and further out into the Gulf, he became drowsy
and started to drown
But Adam Warwick, a biologist with the Wildlife Commission, wasn't
about to let that happen.
Adam went in after the bear to stop him from going
under..
"It was a spur of the moment decision. I had a lot of adrenaline
pumping when I saw the bear in the water."
He knew the risk considering the bear was scared and could have
easily became aggressive to defend itself
But the bear seemed to know it was in good hands
Adam's determination finally got the bear back into shallow
water.
And suffered only a scratch from the brave
rescue
Once they reached the shore, other team members came to
help.
The team was able to use a tractor bucket to transport the poor guy
back to his home in Osceola National Forest.
Adam rode with him back home..
Where he is safe and happy again
