Tampa International Airport officials are accustomed to encountering wildlife on the airport's property. However, this week they encountered a first.
A Florida black bear was spotted Tuesday afternoon by a Transportation Security Administration employee walking along the airport's perimeter fence, the airport said.
After two unsuccessful attempts to tranquilize the bear, on Wednesday morning, it was"eventually lured into one of the traps and was safely captured unharmed," Tiliacos told reporters during a press briefing. "Wildlife is not something that's foreign to us," said Tiliacos, who noted that the airport has a wildlife biologist on staff and is accustomed to animals including birds, coyotes and gopher tortoises.
