A city employee on patrol spotted the bear. The bear was wandering on a road in the park and noticed the employee about 60 meters away, but remained standing facing them for a while without moving, so the employee got into a vehicle and approached the bear, at which point it entered the woods in the park. Body length about 1 meter.
