ORLANDO, Fla. (CNN/CENTRAL FLORIDA NEWS 13) - A black bear is on the move, after spending a few nights in an Orlando neighborhood.

The animal spent much of Sunday up in a tree, until wildlife officers tranquilized it. It took about 10 minutes for the bear to fall asleep and leave the tree.

The bear had been spotted in the neighborhood for at least three days.

Officials say the bear is about 2 years old and weighs about 200 pounds.

It will be taken to a forest and let go.
