How em-bear-assing! Gigantic brown bear tries to make its winter den under Colorado home before it's tranquilized and takes FIVE rangers to drag away

  • 2 years ago
'Durango' the 400-pound bear had to be removed from underneath a Colorado home, where he tried to make his den for winter. The bear was found under a Hermosa Avenue home and had to be tranquilized and pulled out by five rangers. Rangers also said Durango was 'one of the largest male bears we have ever seen in town.' He was relocated to a new home 60 miles away, where he had plenty of food and would have a low chance of encountering hunters. The 10-year-old bear also underwent a health examination and was given ear tags and a microchip for further monitoring. Colorado Parks and Wildlife recommend residents secure their trash, pick up fallen fruit, and remove bird feeders to avoid bears trying to nest near them.
