Bear seen over 2 dozen times in Tucson neighborhood released in the wild

Watch as a young bear is taken from a Tucson neighborhood where she's been seen over two dozen times and is released in a remote area where she's safe and in her natural habitat.

TUCSON, Ariz. - A young bear was released back into her natural habitat after she wandered into a Tucson neighborhood and was spotted more than two dozen times by residents.

The Arizona Game and Fish Department posted on Twitter the video of the one to two-year-old bear as she was sedated and put into a trailer where she was taken to a remote area and released.

Her ear was tagged for future identification in case she wanders to where humans are again.
