Bear Does Not Go Quietly

Three weeks ago, a bear entered the town of Przemysl, Poland, and approached a local school. She was tranquilized by local authorities, who returned her into the forest on the theory that, hey, she certainly wouldn’t do that again. Naturally, she did, heading to the nearby town of Chorzow. Guess what? “[T]his time, efforts to tranquilize her proved decidedly unsuccessful. Despite apparently succumbing to a first injection, the bear suddenly awoke when authorities approached. A chase ensued, with a second ranger having to come to the aid of his companion.” Everyone survived, the bear is headed to a zoo, and the rest of us get a photogallery out of it. Everybody wins!
