Do you see a lot of themwhere you are? We used to get an occasional black bear in NJ, but I've never seen a mother and cubs like that - too cool
They're definitely cute, but don't let that fool ya - that's one tough animal! We had a weird thing happen out here last weekend - a family was camping not too far out of town with their cooler in their tents (first mistake) and a black bear actually came in through the side of the tent and pulled their little boy out and dragged him off. Really a tragedy, the little guy didn't make it, and it turns out they'd had problems with this bear in the campground the weekend prior but hadn't done anything about it!
