A 200-pound black bear that wandered onto the University of Colorado campus has been relocated to the nearby Rocky Mountains.
A black bear in a tree was tranquilized and dropped onto a mat from a tree after it was roaming around campus at the University of Colorado at Boulder.
The black bear was about three-to-five years-old and about 200 pounds.
The bear was released somewhere in the Rocky Mountains. Black Bears in the North America are the smallest and most common on the continent. Adult males are larger than females and usually weigh up to about 550 pounds. Some are known to weigh up to 800-to-1,000 pounds.
Black Bears east insects — even bees and yellow-jackets, salmon, dandelions. They are known to prey on deer in some areas.
Black Bear attacks of humans have been fatal, but human survivability is increased by fighting back.
