"Veronica O'Brien-Lim explained that the bears were living under her home due to the previous owners digging a foundation under half of the addition. Initially adorable, the bears began causing problems by going through neighbors' trash and chewing on wires."
"O'Brien-Lim mentioned that intervention is a last course of action, as hazing the mother could lead her to abandon the cubs. Tranquilizing the mother and capturing the cubs would require creating a new den for them nearby."
"The neighborhood became a spectacle, with one neighbor noting that after the bears were discovered, it was like paparazzi, with cars and people flocking to see them. The bears finally emerged from the den after months, leading to a rescue of one cub that was stuck."
A family in New Jersey discovered a mother bear and her four cubs living under their home. After months in the den, the bears emerged, leading to issues such as rummaging through trash and damaging property. The family contacted wildlife authorities, who suggested that intervention should be a last resort. Despite expectations that the bears would leave after a few days, they remained for two weeks, attracting attention from neighbors and causing traffic disruptions. A wildlife team eventually rescued one cub that got stuck, reuniting it with its mother.
