baby black bearMommy Help Me! Oh, Dear God Help Me!

This picture courtesy of NJ Wildlife Management. I have been trying to get to my car to go to work ever since 9am but there is a baby Black Bear up a tree in my yard,you might say hey go for it you'll be in the car before the Bear gets down. Easier said than done!

Momma Bear is waiting for her cub with a few more of them by her side. Now I know I can't more quicker than her so I stay home wishing I could get to my camera that is in my car.

This is the cutest thing I have seen in a long time, Momma seems like she is speaking and sometimes yelling get down from there and the baby keeps shaking his head no way! The baby is holding on for dear life. Momma bear is the biggest I have seen this year she looks like she is at least 7-800 pounds and the baby in the tree is no light weight either. The other two cubs are rolling around my back yard without a care in the world.

In the last three hours this baby has moved about a foot down the tree and every-time Momma says something it makes a noise like Dear God don't let her spank me and it just holds on tighter to the tree. OOPS, he move down again now Momma is standing on her hind legs and baby is starting to shake all over and yelling back to Mommy help me!

This is an awesome thing to watch and I thank God for allowing me the opportunity to enjoy nature at its finest and funniest.

Oh no, the two cubs are about a foot away from my back door, I hope Mommy gets her baby quick other wise when my kids get home from school we will all be praying Dear God Help Me!

That is great I would love to be in that position, it would probably scare the heck out of me.

Thanks for sharing your story.  Nature is wonderful.  My brother lives in Sparta and sometimes has similar stories.  I, with my 5 year old daughter at the time, were 5 feet away from a black bear while vacationing in the Poconos.  What an exciting and nerve racking occurrence!  Of course, I was the only one of the 3 that were scared.  My daughter didn't know what was going on as I grabbed her  under bother arms lifting her into the car (banging my knee on the console - ouch!) as Mr. Black Bear went waddling right past us. Dadump-dadump!  If people on a balcony didn't yell out to me to grab my daughter, she would have walked right accross the bear's path +  (hello-nice to meet you! face to face)

Today I was pulled over by a Police man. There was a bear on the road I just past and was flashing on coming traffic to slow down. The cop thought I was warning other drivers he was sitting on the side of the road.

Bear's are a beautiful animal to watch, just keep your distance and they will leave you alone.

Hey big boy.  Are you flashing again?  Did you ever hear of Beaver Lake off rt. 23.  I think it is Franklin.  Are there bears there too?

Such a cute story!  It  always amazes me to see how all mothers, no matter the species, try to teach and discipline their young.

What an awesome thing to witness!  We are not that far removed from the animal kingdom!  Hope your kids made it in alright and that you didn't miss any important appointments.

This is very funny as it plays thru my own imagination . I lived in Lae Taho for some time , and this type of scenario is more common there than where I live now. Its amazing how secure we feel inside our houses wathcing outside.I Hope the bear came down and they all ran away happily ever after before ytour children got home from school.

Have you forgotten everything about the area? You use to live in the area heck your West Milford home is out in the boon docks, your tenants probably have them over for the weekends.
