New Jersey State Troopers Rescue Bear Cub From Highway Ditch
Troopers secured the cub and turned it over to state wildlife officials for care, after a roadside report prompted the rescue.
- On Wednesday, New Jersey State Police from Troop B at Perryville Station rescued a lone bear cub spotted in a roadside ditch off I-78 East in Union Township near milepost 12.2.
- "Upon arrival, troopers found the small cub alone and in need of assistance," State Police shared, noting the animal was secured and transported to the barracks before release to the Department of Environmental Protection.
- Black bears are native to New Jersey and are found in all 21 of the state's counties, providing context for the Wednesday rescue in a region where wildlife encounters occur regularly.
- Commenters on Facebook shared enthusiasm about the rescue, with one writing the cub could be the "latest recruit of the K9 unit" after the agency posted photos of the operation.
- The Department recommends leaving young wildlife undisturbed, warning that feeding bears "may encourage bears to linger in residential areas" and potentially become aggressive or require destruction.
