Falling Bear, Part II

In early July, a two-year-old black bear climbed a tree near the engineering complex, just east of Cockerell Hall, drawing delighted spectators, trained animal handlers and campus photographer聽Glenn Asakawa听(闯辞耻谤鈥�86).

Moments after the bear was tranquilized for safe transport back to the wild, Asakawa snapped the sleepy animal as it tumbled onto safety mats below.

Within hours, the photo blew through social media and onto major national news platforms, including CNN, the Huffington Post and Mashable.

鈥淏ear with us,鈥� CNN said. 鈥淭he photograph is too good not to share.鈥�

The incident 鈥� in which no one was harmed, including the bear 鈥� recalled a very similar situation three years ago, when a bear falling from a different campus tree was captured by聽Andy Duann聽(ElEngr鈥�12) and became a popular Internet meme.

鈥淎fter Falling Bear 1.0 went viral, I vowed never to ignore any animal on campus!鈥� says Asakawa.
