Bear! 

Wauwatosa is being inundated with wildlife lately:

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.

They ended up closing the freeway ramps at Burleigh because of it, which caused all sorts of backups this morning. The JSOnline article also includes some pictures. I wonder what animals we'll have tomorrow.
