More pictures and an explanation:

These are some amazing shots. A bear was walking across Rainbow

Bridge (Old Hwy 40 at Donner Summit, Truckee California) on Saturday when

two cars also crossing the bridge scared the bear into jumping over the

edge of the bridge. Somehow the bear caught the ledge and was able to pull

itself to safety. Authorities decided that nothing could be done to help

Saturday night so they returned Sunday morning to find the bear sound

asleep on the ledge. After securing a net under the bridge the bear was

tranquilized, fell into the net, lowered, then woke up and walked out of

the net.
