A 200-lb hippie bear was wandering around the University of Colorado campus in Boulder, eventually climbing up a tree to snooze. Officials shot the hippie bear with a tranquilizer dart and he fell onto a large mat. Described as “pretty mellow” , he “was resting up on the branch”. Hippie-bear will be taken back to the wild by the Colorado Parks and Wildlife Dept. Thank God Nugent wasn’t there!

UPDATE: That bear was hit by multiple cars today and is dead. Famous Falling Bear Killed by Cars
