A male black bear was captured this morning after it was discovered prowling around a business at 114th St. and W. Burleigh in Wauwatosa. Authorities were trying to determine how the 154-pound bear made its way to the commercial area near Highway 45 - it had not come from the Milwaukee County Zoo a few miles away - and whether it is the same bear sighted in Cedarburg earlier this week. There also have been sightings of a black bear recently near the Manitowoc-Sheboygan county line and in Calument County....Wauwatosa police were called to the scene around 6:20 a.m. and found the bear meandering across the grass between Schwaab and another business, where it took refuge under a parked semi trailer, said Capt. Jeff Sutter.
