What happened

DENVER — Colorado Parks and Wildlife officers were called to Denver’s Platt Park neighborhood Sunday morning after a bear was spotted high in a tree.

Why it matters

CPW said the young black bear climbed a tree near Louisiana Avenue and Pennsylvania Street in Denver.

Common ground

Officers tranquilized the approximately 100-pound, 1½-year-old male bear and, with help from Denver police, safely captured it when it came down from the tree.

Perspective signals
