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.

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!

Post by: HoofsandWings on June 28, 2013, 08:56:17 AM: 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.
