Bear Wanders Through Tredegar and Downtown



A young bear decided to visit downtown Richmond yesterday, playfully running across fields down at Tredegar.

Thankfully, Richmond Animal Care and Control, the Richmond Police, and Virginia Department of Game and Inland Fisheries were able to sedate and capture him so that he was not injured. He will be relocated to another setting after evaluating.

RACC said it ended up naming the bear Fuzzy Wuzzy.
Now, hopefully, the next call RACC gets isn’t about a lion or tiger.
