Authorities tranquilized and captured a black bear in a Helena mobile home park Tuesday morning. It happened around 9 a.m., in the McHugh Mobile Home Park, on the city’s north side, where Helena Animal Control found the bear high up in a tree. Officials said although they intended to capture the 340-pound male bear alive and relocate it, the animal did not survive due to the impact of the fall. The McHugh Mobile Home Park bear is the second black bear spotted in the Helena valley on Tuesday.
