Title: Elk, Wolf, and Bear Electrocution
Post by: brianb231 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.

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.

So how did the elk get eaten if the wolf and bear were electrocuted? Somethings isnt adding up.

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.
