JUNE 9 (Reuters) — A video posted to a social media website in May captured the moment a bear reached the top of a tall utility tower to approach a bird’s nest in the Canadian town of Fort Smith.
The bear was seen gripping to the top of the 30 meter tower as it hovered its head over the nest, ignoring the power cables and the ravens surrounding it.
Linda Powell, who captured the moment on camera, said the ravens were very vocal during the bear’s ascent and descent. But pecking at the bear did not prevent it from pursuing its dangerous hike. After the animal reached the ground, it casually strolled away, Powell said. (Fort Smith, Canada)
