Officers with the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission have been looking for the 125-pound grizzly cub after it?escaped?from a facility Tuesday afternoon in Golden Gate Estates. Wildlife officials asked residents to report any sightings.

Wildlife supervisor Capt. Mitts Mravic says residents shouldn't approach the?bear?if they see it, but should call law enforcement with "information on a direction of travel."

The cub is likely in a wooded area on the owner's property or a neighboring property. But wildlife officials say it could potentially travel in search of food.

Black bears live in the area, but the escaped grizzly cub is brown, officials noted.

The commission is also looking into the cause of the?escape.
