Bear Naps in Sahuarita Neighborhood

A black bear took a risky nap in a Sahuarita neighborhood tree, sparking a viral video with nearly half a million views. Authorities responded with a tranquilizer and tarp, safely catching the 80-pound bear before releasing it back into the wild the next day. As Arizona’s only native bear species, these animals often wander into urban areas during droughts in search of food — a reminder that even small bears can pose unexpected challenges when nature and neighborhoods collide.
