Sad…

The black bear made famous for falling from a tree on the University of Colorado campus died Thursday after he was struck by two cars on the interstate.

The Colorado Parks and Wildlife department picked up the bear and immediately identified him as the infamous flyer at CU.

Spokesperson Jennifer Churchill said the following on the sad occasion:

It's a bummer.

It's so hard to go through this and not be able to give these bears a good place to live.

This is definitely a big bummer…we'll miss this bear!

This bear had a chance to fly!

Too bad it wasn't awake to notice…

A wild bear found himself on the University of Colorado Boulder campus and decided to climb a tree.

No biggie…except that

More dead birds have been found in yet ANOTHER state.

300 black birds speckled the white snow along an Alabama highway this week.

At this rate, we're starting to accept mass birds falling from the sky as a normal daily occurrence, but at least they seem to be dropping in fewer numbers as the weeks go on.

A wildlife expert thinks that the ruffled and scattered feathers around the creepy scene suggest some kind of physical trauma, like a tractor trailer hitting the flock, may be responsible.

Finally! An explanation that kinda, sorta makes sense, but then again, why are 300 birds flying low enough to get hit by traffic?

It seems to us (but we're not scientists) that these birds were already on their way to the ground before they got hit.

Check out the video above for all the details and give us your thoughts on this mystery!

We WERE happy to say that we ruled out biblical plague…but now we're not so sure once again.

Earlier today, we mentioned that officials believe the thousands of bird deaths in Arkansas were a result of massive trauma.

Now, we've learned about ANOTHER incident where 500 birds fell out of the sky in Louisiana, 300 miles south of the bird-death location in Arkansas.

According to authorities, these birds died due to blood clots that formed from internal injuries.

SO how'd they get the injuries then?

We REALLY hope this doesn't happen again, and we ESPECIALLY hope it doesn't happen anywhere near us!
