POWER STRUGGLE: A lineman successfully coaxed a bear off a utility pole in Arizona after it risked being electrocuted. The animal eventually dropped from the pole and ran off unharmed.

Parents: This is the kind of man who should be your child's hero. Not some sports ball idiot or hedge fund manager.

Bro really talked a whole bear off a power pole like it was a confused house cat. Arizona wildlife stays auditioning for WWE.

He “ran off unharmed” and then climbed a different pole 🤣🤣

This is how linemen connect 22,000-volt power lines without ever turning the electricity off

Second time this man has saved a bear from a utility pole. That’s not just a job, that’s a calling

Poor thing didn’t realize the “mean man” was trying to help him. 🤣

Wild how a lineman is suddenly part electrician, part wildlife handler, part viral content creator. Cool save for the bear, but also a reminder how much stress and risk gets pushed onto workers who never signed up to be frontline animal control on top of everything else.

That guy had a pair. Just a tad dangerous...

He just wanted to snuggle.

"POWER STRUGGLE: A lineman successfully coaxed a bear off a utility pole in Arizona after it risked being electrocuted. The animal eventually dropped from the pole and ran off unharmed." Lucky. One wrong move and it would have been "game over"

Respect to the lineman — talking a full-size bear off a live utility pole is not in the job description, but he handled it like a pro.

For a moment I thought the bear 🐻 was as going to climb the other pole and they would start the process all over again 😂

Doesn't look like a lot of local forage for bears in those video-segments.

😎

Kudos to the lineman. Quick thinking and bravery saved a life today.

What the hell is a bear doing in the middle of a desert?

Bear down!😂

He lied on his resume and claimed to be a certified electrician just to get the honey at the top. That lineman is evicting him for violating safety regulations and not wearing a hard hat. He was honestly just trying to fix the laggy Wi-Fi for the neigborhood. Would you hire him? #bear #funny #work #arizona

Buddy realized he was in the desert and needed a spicy exit

Should have had a woman do it since they picked the bear. Lol

That’s definitely not in the job description. Cool ending!

BFFs for life. Well done, sir. Good thing you keep that stick with you.

That bear should be grounded until it learns to conduct itself properly!

“HEY STOP TRYING TO DIE”

“Thank God for the lineman, because it could’ve gone badly for that bear had it encountered a lesser human being. “And God said, ‘Let there be light,’” and then He created linemen to distribute it.

This could have gone so wrong for the lineman! Kudos to him for his bravery!

It was Winnie the pooh searching for the pot of honey.

What a pair ! This lineman is my today’s hero he could have been tossed out of the bucket by the bear 🐻. Happy for a happy ending for all.
