Young black bear captured in Bentonville
BENTONVILLE, Ark. (KNWA/FOX24) — Witness video shows a young black bear being captured in Bentonville around noon on May 28. Officers with the Bentonville Police Department and Bentonville animal control, with assistance from the Arkansas Game and Fish Commission (AGFC), caught the bear after it was seen scaling a tree in Bentonville. 'It's probably a yearling,' Keith Stephens with AGFC said. 'Momma pushes them out to be on their own this time of year.'

Some may notice this bear's golden hue, despite its name. A cinnamon bear is not a distinct species but rather a color phase of the American black bear, scientifically known as Ursus americanus cinnamomum, a subspecies of Ursus americanus.
