Bear Up Tree

Video

A Florida black bear is back in the Ocala National Forest after it wandered into a neighborhood, got hit by a truck and eluded Florida Fish and Wildlife workers for hours.
 
The Fish and wildlife workers were called after two boys chased the 2-year-old bear up a tree in Ocala Wednesday.

The bear eventually came down, but was then hit by a truck on Highway 200.

The bear then took off again and climbed a second tree before finally being tranquilized.
 
Wildlife workers said the bear was not seriously hurt.
