Black Bear Encounter in Monrovia: Wildlife Officials on the Scene
A black bear made a surprise appearance during a live KTLA report in Monrovia, California. Reporter Erin Myers was introducing a story when the bear wandered into the background. The bear was seen near a trap set up in a driveway where residents believe it has been living. Officials from the California Department of Fish and Wildlife were on the scene trying to trap the bear and investigating a recent incident where a woman was swiped by a bear while walking her dog. The bear may have been defending its cub during the encounter. Residents are advised to keep their distance from bears and secure trash cans to avoid attracting wildlife. The bear eventually left the area while authorities continued to monitor the situation.
