Wildlife Officials Catch Bear With Doughnuts
BONITA SPRINGS, Fla. -- Wildlife officials say they used doughnuts to catch a bear in Bonita Springs.
The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission says a small young female bear was trapped Monday morning, five days after it was set free.
Wildlife biologists are towing the bear in the trap to the Ocala National Forest. There, the bear will be tranquilized, receive a radio collar, be weighed and then released--again.
Authorities also trapped a 225-pound male bear in the same area two weeks ago.
