The famous American park had to close around fifteen attractions this Monday because a wild black bear was in a tree. Specialists were still on site in the afternoon.
A wild Winnie the Pooh among the attractions. This Monday, the Florida park Disney World in Orlando closed several attractions due to the presence of a black bear in a tree, reported the American media Fox 35.
“The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) has been notified of the presence of a black bear in a tree at Walt Disney World in the Magic Kingdom (one of the park’s areas, Editor’s Note),” the FWC said in a statement.
She continued, “FWC Bear Management Program biologists are on scene along with FWC law enforcement officers.”
Gradual reopening
After the closure of around fifteen main attractions in the park, some of them were reopened at short notice. “We are working with the FWC and have made the decision to reopen Frontierland, Liberty Square and Adventureland at Magic Kingdom Park,” Disney said.
The FWC later announced that it had “safely captured the adult bear.” According to her, he was probably looking for food as his next hibernation approached. “In most cases, it is best to keep your distance from bears and let them go alone, but given the situation, staff captured the animal and removed it from the park,” an area of the Ocala National Forest.
