Black bear killed while trying to get to pancakes along Tennessee highway

[Still Waters]

A black bear was hit by a car and killed on a Tennessee highway after it found a delicious snack on the side of the road while it was bulking up for winter, officials with the Appalachian Bear Rescue said on Facebook.

But the bear "was left in a spot much too dangerous for ABR curators to get to safely," agency said, because the road in that area of the highway "quickly becomes steep and curvy as you get closer to the mountains, offering low visibility for drivers."

The group said it was important to move the bear from that area, not only to get it out of the way of oncoming traffic, but also to see whether the bear was a male or a female because if it were a female, there could have been cubs nearby.

If the pancake is still fresh and delicious, I want it. (Free of charge, please.)

And if you get hit too - ànd still alive - they'll try everything to get you from the road, and so they can also pick up that dead bear and find out whether it was male or female.

Good plan !

Nope, you must first prove it you are a bear too.

Unfortunately the Appalachian Bear Rescue Agency does not believe that a bear can type a pancake request in English ...
