Man saved drowning bear

Photos that show the moment a wildlife officer risked his life to save drowning bear.
The 26-stone black bear had bolted into the water in fright after being shot with a tranquilliser dart when it was found roaming a Florida beachfront neighbourhood. However, as the paralysing drug took effect, the panicked creature thrashed and flailed in the waves, struggling for survival.
Wildlife officer Mr Warwick, 29, who works for the Florida Fish and Wildlife Commission, wasted no time in stripping off to help... As the animal struggled to keep its head above water, Mr Warwick slipped one arm under the bear to cradle its body and clamped the other on to the scruff of its neck, dragging it ashore.
