The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commissionsaid the bearwas spotted in a Punta Gorda neighborhood on Sunday. The bruin was caught on camera taking a soak in a resident's hot tub before removing the cushions from an outdoor couch and taking a six hour nap in the backyard. FWC personnel used hazing techniques to encourage the bear to leave the property, and it ended up scaling a tree in a nearby vacant lot. The bear descended from the tree Monday and was ensnared in a trapbaited with doughnuts, the FWC said. Wildlife officers said the bear was relocated to a state park near Punta Gorda.
