An adult female black bear was captured and tranquilized in Chatsworth, Los Angeles, after roaming the San Fernando Valley for a day. The California Department of Fish and Wildlife used mats to ensure the bear fell safely from a tree where it had climbed. The bear, previously captured and tagged in Claremont, was released back into the Angeles National Forest. Authorities noted the bear's likely search for food, water, or shelter and plan to monitor its movements closely. Bear sightings are common in Southern California's foothill communities, though they surprised Chatsworth residents. Officials advise securing trash and other bear attractants to prevent encounters.
