SIERRA VISTA – Police officers have captured a young male black bear on an elementary school playground in Sierra Vista.

City police officers had to corral the bear, which climbed into a tree at Huachuca Mountain Elementary School. They then sedated the wild animal with a Zylazine dart and captured it.

The capture follows a summer during which four bears in the area were shot and killed after encroaching on humans in southeastern Arizona.

Biologists say the trash dumped by illegal immigrants hiking through border mountains is part of the problem because it acclimates the animals to people.

Also, drought has caused shortages in acorns, juniper and manzanita berries that normally are dietary staples for black bears this time of year.

As a result, bears in the Huachuca Mountains and elsewhere have had to scrounge more, relying heavily on human food.

Officials blamed yesterday's bear incident on that fact.
