ORLANDO, Fla. - A black bear spotted in a tree at Lake Eola Park in downtown Orlando over the weekend has left the area, wildlife officials said in an update Monday morning. Staff with the Florida Fish and Wildlife brought in a cage with hopes of trapping the bear safely so they could relocate it but were unable to capture it. The dispersing bear reportedly left the area around 1 a.m. Monday. Details about where it wandered off were not immediately released. The bear drew large crowds near Relax Grill where the animal was seen perched about 50 feet in a tree.
