CroatiaA black bear in New Mexico tragically died after suffering an electric shock while climbing a power line near the town of Gladstone, approximately 270 kilometers east of Santa Fe. The incident was first noticed by Shannon Mullens and her family, who were traveling on Interstate 56. They initially thought the bear was dead but later confirmed it through closer inspection. Despite efforts by emergency services to rescue the animal, the bear came into contact with live wires, suffered an electrocution, and died before any intervention could take place.

Similar incidents have occurred in other states, highlighting the ongoing challenge of preventing these tragic encounters.
