Ok, here's something you don't see often...

According to the Seattle Post-Intelligencer:

Florida Fish and Wildlife Commission biologist Adam Warwick saved a 375 male black bear from drowning near Alligator Point, Fla. in the Gulf of Mexico, Saturday. The bear had been wondering a residential neighborhood near Alligator Point, Fla. The bear was hit with a tranquilizer dart, but bolted into the ocean before he was sedated. Warwick jumped in to keep the bear from drowning and dragged him to shore. The bear has been relocated to Osceola National Forest near Lake City, Fla.
