The animal caught stares from more than 600 parents attending a graduation ceremony on the Sierra Middle School side of a chain-link fence.
"The bear got on scene, there was graduation going on and he was not an invited guest," said Kim Rodriguez with Kern County Animal Control. "He felt like he was unwelcome, so he left."
The bear climbed the fence onto the empty playground and only stayed for a brief moment before climbing back over the fence and fleeing to a nearby apartment complex, where it was captured and taken to the local Animal Control facility.
