Bear Rescued from Tree in Tracy, Released into Wilderness

A bear that fell out of a tree in Tracy was rescued and released into the wilderness.

The bear created a scene Wednesday afternoon with dozens of people watching. The animal was eventually tranquilized and ended up falling out of the tree. Biologists were caring for it Wednesday.

The California Department of Fish and Wildlife said the bear is a young female, about 175 pounds and was not hurt in the fall.

Wildlife experts are now debating on where to release the bear.
