LOVELAND, Colo. — A 2-year-old bear was caught in a tree in Loveland on Friday morning, according to Colorado Parks and Wildlife (CPW).

CPW tweeted out video from the incident showing the bear up a tree near a Safeway on North Wilson Avenue and Highway 34.

Officials said multiple people called to report the bear running around near central Loveland before climbing up the tree.

Once wildlife officials located the bear they were able to tranquilize it so it could be moved out of the area.

The bear, a 2-year-old female, was in good condition and was released back into the mountains later Friday, CPW said.
