Wildlife officers tranquilized a bear that had climbed about 15 feet up a tree near student housing on the University of Colorado Boulder campus Thursday morning.
After a short wait, the bear fell out of the tree onto cushioned pads that had been placed on the ground.
CU police spokesman Ryan Huff said the decision was made after 10 a.m. to remove the bear because of its proximity to student dormitories and U.S. Highway 36.
