The wranglers, along with Los Angeles County sheriff's deputies, looked for the bear in the 4700 block of Hillard Avenue. The animal was spotted cooling off in a pool, and then it stepped out and wandered around in a backyard.

It eventually climbed halfway up a tree on Jarvis Avenue. Authorities decided to wait it out in an effort to push it east toward the ravine.
A game warden says it is a female black bear, about 200 pounds and around 3 years old.
