HOLY MOLY THAT FOREARM STRENGTH.
Don't mess with bears unless you're strapped, folks (you should always be strapped, but that's another conversation!).
Like the tweet says, the bear was captured two days later. The guard got a few scratches, but is fine.
From ABC:
The victim called 911 and was taken to a nearby hospital, where he received care for scratches to his back and was later released.
As for the bear ... well, after he was captured, Violent Yogi was put down.
Wildlife officers were eventually able to capture the bear early Wednesday, CPW said in an update.
They spotted the animal near Conner Park and "hazed the bear into a tree at the park" around 2 a.m. Wednesday, CPW said. They used a tranquilizer gun to immobilize the bear then removed it from the tree using an Aspen Fire ladder truck, took it away from the area and humanely euthanized it per CPW policy, the agency said.
The male bear was sent to the CPW Wildlife Health Lab in Fort Collins for a full necropsy.
Mess around, find out, bears!
