By KOMO StaffMISSOULA, MONT. – People in Missoula, Mont. will be talking about this one for a while.
A black bear on a trampoline.
The bear was in a tree in the middle of town this week. After waiting all day for it to come down, fish and wildlife experts got in a fire truck basket and shot the bear with a tranquilizer. The bear fell out of the tree, then the trampoline catapults him back up into the air before landing on the grass.
The bear is fine.
Crews moved him safely away from away from town and released him deep in the woods, no doubt a little dizzy. You can view the video via our usual Quicktime Streaming, or download the Mpeg version at komotv.com/qt/bouncing_bear.mpg
