Wild Visitors in Florida Neighborhoods
In Florida, it’s fairly common for wild animals to wander into towns while looking for food. But in one unforgettable incident in 2008, a black bear weighing nearly 400 pounds faced a terrifying situation that could have ended in tragedy.
Wildlife officers from the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) were called after the animal was spotted walking through a neighborhood near Alligator Point. To safely return the bear to its natural habitat, the team decided to use a tranquilizer dart.
