Walt Disney World Park in Florida closed due to a female black bear
On Monday, October 16, the Walt Disney World Magic Kingdom amusement park in Florida (USA) had to be closed. Visitors were left without a dozen rides because of a bear that climbed a tree.
It became known that the animal saw "the most magical place on earth". While they were trying to catch the bear, more than a dozen rides were out of service, Metro reports.
Experts note that the animal was safely caught.
"Staff have captured the animal and are relocating the bear from the park to an area in or around the Ocala National Forest," the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission assured.
At the same time, it is not known how the bear got to the theme park and what its condition is.
