Boulder’s famous ‘falling bear’ died after being hit by car on U.S. 36

The bear famously tranquilized on the University of Colorado campus last week, and immortalized in a viral photo by CU student Andy Duann, met a tragic death early Thursday in the Denver-bound lanes of U.S. 36.

Colorado Parks and Wildlife officials said a 280-pound black bear that died on U.S. 36 after being hit by a car at about 5:40 a.m. Thursday was the same bear that became known worldwide last week after wandering onto the CU campus near the Williams Village dorm complex.

Another bear incident in Colorado today

Another bear was spotted today wandering through a suburban Denver neighborhood. A TV news helicopter tracked its every move as wildlife officials responded. The saga ended when the bear was tranquilized. Sorry, this one won’t be as much fun to Photoshop as the falling bear from last week.
