Firefighters in Oxnard plucked a sleeping bear that hid in a tree for almost two hours, according to KTLA.
The partially tranquilized 200-pound bear ran around a Ventura County neighborhood for hours this morning before climbing up a tree in a cemetery
The bear was first spotted in the parking lot of a fire station on Vineyard Avenue just after 2 a.m. and eventually climbed a cemetery wall leading him 25 feet up the tree.
Fish and Game officials worked with the firefighters to remove the bear using harnesses and a ladder truck, according to the report.
At approximately 9 a.m., they carefully lifted the bear out of the tree.
The bear is expected to be released in Los Padres National Forest.
