A kind-hearted man risked his life to save a 400-pound black bear from drowning in the lake

In the wild, the bear is considered a peaceful inhabitant. But when an animal feels threatened, it becomes very dangerous to humans.

For this reason, the Florida state police, having found a bear in a residential building, had to take urgent measures to avoid trouble.

Indeed, very often the meeting of a bear with a person ends in someone’s death. The only way out of this situation was the use of tranquillizer darts.

However, this time they did not work immediately.

The bear rushed to the nearest lake. And only then did the sedative begin to work.

WWF biologist Adam Warwick realized that the animal was completely helpless, and immediately rushed into the water to help.

Adam was probably blinded by the adrenaline. After all, such a desperate act could turn into suicide.

Still, the risk was justified. Under the influence of drugs, the bear’s paws couldn’t move. And if it had not been for Adam’s help, the bear would have probably drowned.

Rescuers came to the rescue. At that time, more than fifteen meters remained to the coast.

However, it was not possible to load the animal into the boat due to its enormous size and weight.

It was necessary for Adam, tightly hugging the paralyzed predator, to swim to the shore on his own.

They seemed to have been in the water for an eternity. The animal was saved.

Now, finally, the bear will be able to return to its native habitat.

The rescuer even managed to say goodbye to the bear, whose life was saved thanks to the bravery of Adam.

Not everyone would have the courage to do what Adam did. After all, one blow of the paw of this powerful animal would be quite enough to blow off the guy’s head.
