Bear in MK? Is this real?

[CarolynFH]

Disney - “We’re adding real bears to the Country Bear Jamboree”

Disney Fans - “THAT BELONGS IN ANIMAL KINGDOM, YOU’RE RUINING THEME!!”

"WALT DISNEY IS ROLLING IN HIS GRAVE!!!1!1!1!1!"

It’s well known that Walt wanted live animals for Jungle Cruise….

Imagine how enticing garbage bins full of discarded MK treats must be to a bear!

The Florida state wildlife biologists are on site now. They’ll take good care of him.

And the bear's taunting them....

According to BlogMickey they’ve opened part of the affected area, the area around BTMM still closed.

Not sure about that, all this time they've turned a blind eye to Little Buford getting whupped.

OK updating title to remove the question... I guess it's real. Thanks!
Edited to say I'm realizing I may not be able to edit the title...

But this is definitely my favorite thread of the day! Glad you started it!

From the helicopter pics, it appeared to be in one of the trees near the coaster track at BTMRR. After they trapped it, FWC said it was an adult female. They report they are moving her 80 miles north to the Ocala Nat'l Forest.

Looks like the bear had time to post some photos from the MK before being captured:

Seems The DIS thought it was worth mentioning...

Anybody else there right now and can update?

My wife and daughter are there today. They had no idea before I told them. They did say the place wasn't busy but the rides were backed up.

So sad, it must have been terrified to wake up to Disney Guests.

They are relocating her to the Ocala National Forest. I just hope she didn't leave behind any babies.

She's in a backstage area - that's why they are trespassing her.

He even got a pair of Mickey Ears.

I guess the bear found is not Winnie The Pooh. This brings the bear necessities of life.

I guess the bear found is not Winnie The Pooh.

Probably not Br’er Bear either. They already got him out of the park earlier this year…
