Overview
- Video from the weekend show captured a roughly 46-second struggle as a black bear knocked a keeper down in front of spectators.
- Staff used chairs and poles to separate the animal, regaining control after the bear lunged a second time.
- The park said no injuries were reported to the keeper or the bear and confirmed the episode ended without medical treatment.
- Officials said the keeper carried apples and carrots for training rewards, which likely prompted the bear’s reaction.
- Management removed the bear from performances and opened an investigation, saying security measures will be strengthened as online calls grow to curb animal shows.
