WHAT GOES UP…
Having A Bear Of A Time
TALK ABOUT BEING IN THE RIGHT PLACE AT THE RIGHT TIME.
We’re not talking about the bear who had the misfortune to wander up a tree near the University of Colorado campus near Boulder, Colo. early this morning. We’re taking about photographer Andy Duann of the student-run CU Independent, who snapped the tranquilized beast as he fell about 15 feet onto a matt staged below.
The bear was discovered roaming around — no joke — near the “Bear Creek Apartments” shortly before 8 a.m. He climbed a tree and rested for about two hours before state wildlife officials arrived and tranquilized him with a dart.
The beast, estimated between one to three years old and weighing 200 pounds, was caged and transported to a “higher elevation,”a CU Police Department spokesperson said.
No doubt Duann’s shot will be landing student journalism photography prizes next year.
