The live footage from Katmai National Park usually shows grizzlies. But on September 5, a man appeared on the livestream and mouthed "help."
A hiker struggling in brutal weather in an Alaska national park was rescued after being spotted asking for help on a webcam used to livestream bears, according to Explore.org.
Viewers watching bear cameras saw a hiker in trouble. When he mouthed the word, "Help," they called search and rescue.
“There is someone distressed on the camera," an internet user wrote as a soaking wet man emerged from the thick mist in Alaska's Katmai National Park.
The hiker, who was lost on Dumpling Mountain due to low visibility and bad weather, was rescued just hours after signaling to a bear camera for help.
