He Refused To Watch This Bear Drown, So He Went In After It

If a yellow lab was drowning in the ocean, what would you do? I’m betting you jump in and save his life, right? Well what if the victim was a 400lb bear. What do you do then?

Well after a huge black wandered into a Florida community and accidentally walked towards the ocean after being shot with a tranquilizer, a hero stepped up to do the unthinkable, and save one of the most dangerous animals on the planet.

After a report was called in about a wild bear roaming around, it was determined that he be tranquilized and moved back to the forest.

But the dart sent the bear into a panic and he ran towards the ocean, evading officers.

Diving into the ocean, he swam ahead of the bear and blocked his path to the open water.

“It was a spur of the moment decision. I had a lot of adrenaline pumping when I saw the bear in the water.”

Onlookers were shocked as the 400lb bear could have torn him limb from limb normally.

The bear tried lunging at Adam to climb on top of him and stay afloat, but he was losing the ability to move his legs.

Amazingly, he only suffered one minor cut, and scrapes from barnacles on his feet.

Hopefully this bear knows just how lucky he is that a legendary hero like Adam Warwick was around to save his life. I don’t even want to think what would have happened had he not been around. I’m certainly karma will pay Adam back soon. ;)
