Wow........... incredible

Where was this picture taken....what part of the world?

 

[Lazarus2]

That is a shame.

What a beautiful creature.

What are the details - did it dig up the wires or were they carelessly left exposed?

No details, just recieved the pics in an email. Thought it would be a good reminder of the power of electricity.

No more picnic baskets for that guy!

If that is true, you don't need to be trimming trees for a living.

Beautiful creature, agreed.

For conjecture, I know that ants have this thing for exposed electrical. I hear of lots of people having to rid their A/C unit of a fire ant mound because they got carbon buildup on the relay contacts from the ant skeletons.

Bears eat ants.

Bears will chew on petrochemical products, plastics, and the like. They'll even go after motor oil. A black bear bit through my chain lube container in the back of my truck. Certain "sweetness" I guess.

Its a shame to see a beautiful creature go in a way like that. The guy in picture 2 looks a little too happy to me!

Maybe that was the third time that had been done to that box.
