A Bruin Alert at Davis

A bear was spotted at the UC Davis campus Tuesday morning, the university’s police department said in a text alert to students.

The bear was reportedly seen near Solano Park and was headed toward the university’s arboretum area, the message said.

“We have a bear on campus,” said UC Davis spokesman Andy Fell, who was with fish and game officials at the scene just before 8 a.m.

Fell said the bear was first reported about 5:45 a.m. near a parking lot by Solano Park, and it has since run up into a tree in a grassy area near the Hyatt Place hotel on campus, a few hundred feet from Arboretum Drive.

Fish and game officials are now “formulating plans” on how to handle the bear, Fell said.

Fell said he wasn’t sure what kind of bear it is, but it is similar in appearance to a black bear.

Campus spokeswoman Melissa Lutz Blouin also confirmed the bear sighting at the campus.
