Summary
In Elizabeth, New Jersey, a black bear climbed a tree and fell asleep 40 feet above the ground. Wildlife officials used a trap baited with day-old donuts, peanut butter, apples, and caramel spray to lure the bear down. The plan worked, and the bear was relocated to a more suitable habitat. This incident is just one of many recent bear sightings in unusual locations.
Our Reading
The habit gets a new name.
Bears are attracted to food, and in this case, stale donuts and peanut butter did the trick. The bear fell for the bait and was relocated. It’s not the first time bears have caused a stir in unexpected places. A bear in California was coaxed out of a crawl space with paintballs filled with vegetable oil. New Jersey’s bear was less stubborn.
Wildlife officials have a range of strategies to remove bears from where they don’t belong.
Bears are just looking for a free meal.
And we’re just looking for a good story.
