APOPKA, Fla. - A bear that was stuck over a tiger enclosure at a Florida wildlife refuge for several days has finally come down, officials confirmed.
On Monday, a bear cub got stuck in a tree over a tiger pin at the CARE Wildlife refuge in Apopka. He was not a resident of the refuge and officials believed he made his way there after a neighbor starting clearing some land.
After several days, the bear became tired and restless but would not come down.
On Wednesday, wildlife officials moved the tigers from their pin, thinking that the bear was scared of them.

Bear cub still in tree after tigers moved at animal sanctuary
A bear cub remained in a tree at the CARE Foundation animal sanctuary in Apopka on Wednesday evening. The cub found its way up a tree that was located over a tiger enclosure. The tigers were relocated earlier in the day, in hopes it might encourage the bear to come down. The cub has been in the tree since Saturday.
Then on Thursday, CARE confirmed to FOX 35 that after this action, the bear came down from the tree. He has not been seen since Thursday night.
