| GOLDEN GATE ESTATES, Fla.
An聽escaped grizzly bear聽cub was seen roaming a wooded area in the Naples area on Wednesday.
Officers with the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission have been looking for the 125-pound grizzly cub after it聽escaped聽from a facility Tuesday afternoon in Golden Gate Estates. Wildlife officials asked residents to report any sightings.
