Just miles from the George Washington Bridge, a black bear cub has been spotted in Englewood, NJ, prompting concerns from the authorities and residents. WPIX reports that the police have seen the bear, which is about 200-250 pounds, a few times, once in the company of other bears. The Englewood police don't think the bear (or bears) is aggressive, but one resident said, "I'm not going outside. I don't care if the bear is black, yellow or green, it's a bear, and I'm scared."
UPDATE: The cub had been captured by the police and NJ state wildlife officials. Check out this video—an official says that the bear looks to be about two years old (they'll take out a toot—ow—to confirm) and he traveled from northwestern NJ by the waterways (the stream corridors). The official was sort of comforting when asked if people should be concerned, saying that they should just be aware, "We're not dealing with an animal that's going after people or gonna eat people. If that were the case, people in NJ would die every day."
