Photo Gallery Bruno's Final Days
The bridge near Bad Tölz in Bavaria where Bruno was grazed by a car. Uninjured, Bruno took a brief bath in the lake before disappearing.
Finnish bear hunters and their dogs were unable to corner Bruno the bear. The dogs suffered in the summer heat.
Bruno, aka JJ1, wasn't shy of humans and left no garbage can un-overturned on his search for food.
The Finnish dogs managed to come close to the bear. But not close enough for hunters to tranquilize him.
Bruno spent weeks on the front pages of German newspapers. Bavarian Minister of the Environment Werner Schnappauf finally gave the allowance for hunters to kill him.
The "Problem Bear" as he was known became so famous that he was even recreated in Legos.
A bear trap was flown in from the United States in an effort to catch Bruno alive.
