Fisherman spots large object floating off NC coast and discovers a swimming bear Mark Price, The Charlotte Observer
May 24 A large object seen floating Sunday in North Carolina s Bogue Inlet turned out to be a black bear, and it was very much alive.
Robert Sawyers of Swansboro says he was out fishing with a friend when they spotted something odd in the choppy water and decided to investigate. When we first saw it, we thought it was a log or something floating in the water, but the closer we got, we decided it was some type of animal, Sawyers told McClatchy News.
