This Black Bear Was Drowning In The Ocean. You Won’t Believe What This Guy Did Next.

This big black bear recently showed up in a neighborhood in Alligator Point, Florida. Wildlife officials knew they didn’t have a choice but to shoot it to tranquilize it. But that’s when everything started going to horribly wrong.

Once the bear was hit with the tranquilizer dart, it became confused and began to panic. It then ran into the ocean and began swimming out further into the Gulf.

So Adam, a biologist did the manliest thing ever. He jumped into the ocean to save the bear from drowning. The bear had lost it’s ability to move it’s legs.

Adam then swam about 75 feet with the 400 pound to shore. Even though the bear was having a hard time keeping it’s head up, Adam never gave up in the rescue.

Adam finally got the bear out of the water. He only suffered a couple scratches in the heroic rescue.

Once the bear was on land, the Osceola National Forest team used a tractor bucket to transfer the bear back to the forest.

What a guy! Adam is the manliest man ever. He didn’t hesitate once to save a 400 pound that could have easily have killed him.
