3/28/2012 - A black bear is released back into the wilds of Eglin Air Force Base’s range March 27 after being relocated from Valparaiso, Fla., by the Florida Fish and Wildlife employees. Reports of the 2-year-old, 200-pound bear getting into people’s trash prompted the relocation. The FWC tagged the bear before its release. This was the first relocation this year. FWC officials say they perform three to four bear relocations per year in the area. (U.S. Air Force photo/Samuel King Jr.)
