TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (WCTV) -- A bison is now back in the care of its owner after getting loose in Tallahassee today.

The Leon County Sheriff's Office says the brazen bison was spotted Friday morning by passing drivers as it took a stroll along Buck Lake Road near Chaires Cross Road.

By 12 p.m., deputies had located the owner of the escaped bison.

The owner and LCSO deputies located the bison in the front yard of a residence and were eventually able to coax the animal back into captivity.

A neighbor told WCTV that the man who owns the bison has a large property with many animals not native to this part of the country.

It was certainly an unusual sight that Tallahassee residents won't soon forget.
