Occurred on June 18, 2017 / Pacific North West River, Idaho, USA
Info from Licensor: "A family in the Pacific North West came across a cinnamon bear struggling to get out of a swollen rushing river. He was stuck in an eddy, or reverse current of water, too tired to get himself to shore. The river was flowing between 10-15' deeper than usual and incredibly powerful. The captain that was escorting the family up river directed his boat engines to help propel the bear out of the spinning currents and assisted him to shore. We thought he was a dog when we came up on him. He kept getting sucked under water. We thought he was a goner for sure because that river was no joke! I've never seen it this high!"
