Elk, Wolf, and Bear Electrocution
« on: June 27, 2013, 07:43:11 AM »
This was posted by a Facebook friend and I found it quite incredible.

An Elk, a Wolf, and a Bear all meeting their fate in the same place. Apperently in Northeastern Oregon an elk was electocuted by a down powerline. The wolf and the bear came to feed on the elk and were electrocuted also.

That is crazy if it is true.  Thanks for posting.

A while back a line came down and didn't open up the circuit, fried a couple cows in this farmers field.  Ended up killing numerous crows, and a few bald eagles who came to feed on the cows before the electric company was notified!  Strange things happen!

Not a great picture, but that looks like a sow Grizzly to me.  Haven't heard much about those being in NE Oregon.

When I was in Yellowstone a couple of years ago, I saw a picture of a grizzly biting a live power line.
The bear was still smoking when the picture was taken.
