This happened a few weeks ago, but for whatever reason, pictures are just showing up about this strange occurrence. A bear was walking on the Old Hwy 40 Bridge in Truckee when two cars were coming from either direction honked at him. This freaked him out and he jumped right over the side of the bridge. (This bridge connects two mountains!) Anyway, somehow the bear ended up hanging on for dear life on the side of the bridge. He pulled himself up to the beam and stayed there overnight. In the morning, the Bear League and Animal Control placed a net under the bridge and shot him with a tranquilizer dart. He fell into the net and eventually when lowered walked off unharmed. What a crazy story!

It's a Bird, it's a Plane, no, it's a Bear Hanging from a Bridge (??)
