Game and Fish officers tranquilized a bear they had treed in a populated section of Albuquerque's North Valley on Monday.
The bear tumbled about 50 feet from the cottonwood in which it was perched and landed on an air mattress.
Game and Fish officials say it is extremely rare to have a bear sighting in the North Valley.
The bear, which was declared to be fine, was to be returned to the wild.
