These guys had a good reason to run….
Two park rangers near the town of Chorzow in southern Poland set out to tranquilize a bear which had wandered too close to the town. The bear had plagued the area for weeks after escaping from a wildlife park in a nearby Ukrainian town. The brown bear even visited the Polish town of Przemysl where the she paid a visit to a grade school. In Przemysl, the bear was tranquilized and brought deep into the forest where authorities hoped it would stay for good. That didn’t happen.
The bear resurfaced in Chorzow where these two park rangers shot it with a tranquilizer. The bear went down and, when one of rangers approached the beast, it woke up and gave chase. A second ranger came to the man’s aid and they were finally able to put the bear down. One guy was kind enough to take photos of the event which really helped out the two guys running for their lives.
The bear’s fate remains undecided authorities would like to put it in a local zoo.
Phew! They escaped – bearly.
LMAO I bet his pants are full
Are Ukrainians known for being well-endowed then, infi?
Not your average 3 legged bear:

Hey Scott, you have a rival, unless you commented on that clip as “wautd”.
Yeah I saw that. Wasn’t me.
Yees, yees, and now zee behr vill go jently to sleep. Poof! Juhst watch zis.
I thought that in the US, there’s generally someone nearby with a high-caliber something when doing this. Though some bears in the US have been reported to run several hundred yards with a rifle bullet through the heart. . . Yikes!
No need to run faster than the bear, just run faster than your buddy. Hahahaha, I don’t hate my job anymore.
LOL Brune!
Had they been using a real gun, they would have had a nice rug by now.
That could have been a very grizzly scene.
Looks like they bearly got away.
Grrr, sorry Maffu, I missed your first comment.
What, Gary, hibernating at the wheel?
Sorry, Gary, that was uncalled for. That sort of comment will polar-ize the commenters.
Nice photos, though, did they use a Kodiak?
But I’m not just panda-ering to the pun lovers.
I am sure that guy probably bruin-ed his good pants.
That bear bit the bullet and clawed its way back into the… game.
LOL @ Mike
