Wounded Black Bear

[MannyL358]

I ran into a wounded juvenile black bear at Jungle today. I'm not sure what to do... show I report it or let nature sort it out? The little guy looked like he was in pain.

manny,.that's awesome footage!!

i think he broke his hand,..while chasing rabbit or something.
maybe,..it's best call the ranger just inform them about it.
hopefully that little guy get better.

saw this on your FB...that sucks, but I'm sure it will heal eventually.

I would give the Rangers a call...

 

[Wobbegong]

Id call. Maybe they could help the little guy.

Anyone have the number for the park ranger?

Wow - what time was this and what part of the park ? I was there from 8 until 10 am

 

[soundz]

are you allowed to take bears home?

Probably happened going OTB on goat.

poor baby! :cry:
I would report it, so hopefully they can find him and help him.

I would be interested in finding out what their solution is. Will they put the time and effort (and expense) in to finding him and help him or will they look at him as a threat to park users and destroy him. Please report back on what you find out Manny.

Manny,
Ringwood State Park
1304 Sloatsburg Road

Fax (973) 962-2247

I wouldn't expect them to do anything about it. But you can try.

We used to have a three legged bear in the Jungle for several years. So I think survival won't be a problem for it. I am surprised it's mother wasn't around. It still looks young.

This was around noon by the entrance of Otter Slide.

I called the Rangers and they ask me to call Wide-life Management. I left a message with my number but doubt they'll call back.

I dont even want to get started on the whole "its too costly to help him cause its only an animal" thing ugh would they really destroy him for this?

Hey Manny! Wow - few things get to me more than animals in pain. I hope the bugger turns out OK.

Just saw a message on the Vernon Police Facebook page about a black bear cub struck by a car last week. I wonder if both bears are the same ....

Thanks Jesse... I tried posting the video on the page but I'm not sure it was successful.
