Summary Three Alaska men are being credited with saving a brown bear from drowning.
The Peninsula Clarion reports that Dustin Klepacki was floating the Kenai River with his father and their friend last weekend when they came upon the bear cub drowning in a whirlpool.They tried to bump the bear out of the whirlpool, but the water caught their boat and they turned in circles as the bearbecame more frantic.Finally, the current brought the boat up against the bear, and Dustins father, Mike Polocz, was able to nudge the bear to slower-moving water. The bear swam to shore.
