Officials say the bear caught and tagged in Sierra Madre on Tuesday will be relocated to Angeles National Forest.
A bear roaming in a residential area of Sierra Madre on Tuesday has been safely caught, authorities said.
The female young adult bear was spotted in a front yard on Montecito Avenue, according to California Department of Fish and Wildlife public information officer Tim Daly. The bear is one of several to be spotted in Sierra Madre in recent days, prompting a community meeting on Sept. 16 after some residents had close encounters with the animals as they forged for food near the city’s downtown area and adjacent neighborhoods.CDFW has been closely monitoring bear activity, and was coincidentally in the area on Tuesday when the Sierra Madre Police Department called about the bear, Daly said.
A team of biologists, with the help of the police department and the humane society, decided to dart the bear so it could be safely removed. Once the bear had been darted, it was loaded onto a truck, and will be taken to a new habitat in Angeles National Forest away from people. The bear will also be given an ear tag and a GPS collar so that CDFW can monitor its movements.declaring urbanized bears a threat to public safety.
