It is rare for the amusement park in Orlando where Walt Disney World is located had to close some venues in the area due to a female bear being seen in a tree near the Magic Kingdom on Monday afternoon. Officials of the Florida Fish And Wildlife Conversation Commission were able to capture the female bear and relocate her to the Ocala National Forest. Thank goodness the bear as well as humans were not hurt in the incident that happened on Monday afternoon. Link is msn.com/en-us/travel/n...

That would be a thrill. People might have thought that was the attraction u til they noticed there was no gate. They'll start screaming their heads off!! Glad he was sent to the woods.

I think that some forests in Florida have a large population of bears.

I would be scared as well if I saw a huge bear in the woods myself.

It is a good thing that the female bear was captured right away. It will be a big problem if it hurts the locals.

You are not kidding since Disney has enough problems dealing with their products not selling enough to make a profit.
