This young — and athletic — bear was seen last Wednesday evening on the west side of Meeker by several residents. Local photographer Samme Purkey caught these shots of the bear climbing a fence before hightailing it towards China Wall.

(Parkour is an athletic training discipline or sport in which practitioners attempt to get from one point to another in the fastest and most efficient way possible, without assisting equipment and often while performing feats of acrobatics. A famous episode of the popular television sitcom “The Office” is the inspiration for the headline.) A moose was reported on the Mesa just south of town last week as well.SAMME PURKEY Photos
