Overview
- UC Davis issued an Aggie Alert late Thursday after repeated bear sightings and cleared it shortly after 5 a.m. Friday.
- Callers and officers tracked the animal from West Village past residence halls and the ARC, with a final sighting about 12:10 a.m. at the Student Farm.
- Campus police searched with state wildlife wardens and Yolo County Animal Control, used a drone for heat scans, and did not locate the bear.
- Officials said the bear showed no aggression, was believed to have left the area, and may be the juvenile reported between Vacaville and Dixon.
- Wildlife agencies urge people to secure trash, pet food, bird feeders, and grills because easy access to human food draws bears into towns.
