This bridge is on the Old Donner Pass Highway. It has a spectacular view of Donner Lake in Truckee, California. A bear was walking across the bridge on a Saturday when two cars also crossing the bridge scared the bear into jumping over the ledge of the bridge. Somehow the bear caught the ledge and pulled itself to safety. Authorities decided that nothing could be done to help Saturday night so they returned Sunday morning to find the bear sound asleep on the ledge.
After securing a net under the bridge the bear was tranquilized, fell into the net, was lowered, then woke up and walked out of the net.
This old bear made a wrong move and found he was hanging by his nails. Somehow he was able to pull himself up onto the ledge where he saw he was in a very tough situation and what did he do? He took a nap and the situation took care of itself while he was asleep.
The moral is that when confronted with a bad situation, sometimes the best solution is...take a nap. Well, at least for a bear, that is.
