The hunt for a black bear spotted more than a dozen times in the Japanese city of Utsunomiya ended in the animal's capture.
Sightings of the bear had prompted city officials to close all 94 of the city’s primary and middle schools for a second straight day.
Aerial footage showed hunters tranquillizing the bear with a dart gun before loading it onto a truck and driving away.
