Black bears cause chaos in DC and Bucks County neighborhoods.

A black bear was tranquilized and captured after spending several hours in a tree and running through a northeast DC neighborhood. The bear was safely loaded into a crate by veterinarians from the National Zoo, Humane Rescue Alliance officers, police, and fire crews. Recent bear sightings in the DC region have prompted authorities to remind residents to practice wildlife safety by securing attractants, staying at a safe distance, and reporting sightings and conflicts to wildlife management agencies.
