Here in Florida, we sometimes find alligators in unusual places, in Colorado it’s bears.
Utility workers in Colorado Springs responded to a report of a bear that was stuck in a storm drain.
The bear made its way into the drain after smelling trash and berries on a discarded branch. An hour later, the bear became lost in the storm system.
Colorado Parks and Wildlife officers removed the manhole, hoping the 4-5 year-old bear would climb out.
Video shows the 250-lb. bear poking its head up through a manhole before making its escape.
Officers fired a non-lethal rubber slug to scare the bear away.
