Magic Kingdom Bear Released Back into the Wild

An adult female black bear, which had taken refuge in a tree near Walt Disney World’s Magic Kingdom on Monday, has been successfully relocated to the Ocala National Forest, as confirmed by the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC).

In a brief 10-second clip, two FWC employees can be seen gently tapping on the enclosure’s side, coaxing the black bear to step out onto a grassy area. After a moment of curiosity, the bear swiftly exits the enclosure as the door closes behind it, prompting the bear to make a quick departure.
