| Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited [Regnum] A bear climbed to the top of a power pole in the United States and died from an electric shock. The New York Post reported this on July 22. "Shannon Mullens, who witnessed the unusual incident, was driving from New Mexico to Oklahoma on Highway 56 when she spotted the bear in distress and contacted emergency services," the report says. The animal died from an electric shock before it could receive medical attention. Wildlife experts believe such incidents occur when a frightened bear mistakes a power pole for a tree. Earlier in June, 90 sheep died after a lightning strike on an alpine pasture in northwestern Slovenia. Most of the dead animals were found on a steep, inaccessible scree slope. Experts observed signs of lightning strikes on the carcasses, including burns. |
