Bear in Aurora


A hungry bear wandered into a residential area in Aurora -- wildlife experts said the bear had likely just come out of hibernation and was hunting for food.

At this time of year, they are quite hungry after a winter spent sleeping and losing weight. But black bears are rarely aggressive, unless cornered.

Conservation officers captured the bear and said they planned to release it into the wild north of Newmarket, near Lake Simcoe.
