Imgur/sleekimpalaThis is the story of a man who saved a bear from drowning. Rather him than me.
The black bear had started to get a little too close to urban areas in Florida, according to the original post on Imgur.
Imgur/sleekimpalaAuthorities decided to take action, and sedated the bear with a dart. It then started to become confused and drowsy, running into the sea.
Imgur/sleekimpalaAs it got deeper, a bystander, Adam Warwick, realised the bear would drown if nobody did anything to help it, so he swam to the animals rescue.

Imgur/sleekimpalaWith the assistance of a small boat he managed to drag the massive 180kg bear 23-metres to shore.

Imgur/sleekimpalaWell done Adam for stepping up to something most people wouldn’t dream of doing!
