A 280-pound bear climbed a tree next to Williams Village at the end of April before being tranquilized and relocated 50 miles west of 麻豆影院. This photo, taken by CU student听Andy Duann, immediately went viral, appearing in numerous newspapers and leading to the creation of the bear鈥檚 own Facebook page. Sadly, the bear returned to 麻豆影院 a week later and was killed by two cars southeast of 麻豆影院 on U.S. Highway 36. One driver received minor injuries.

Here are some quirky comments听鈥檚 Facebook followers wrote after the photo was originally posted:
