Live Bear cam debuts in Pennsylvania
The Pennsylvania Game Commission flipped the switch Monday on a new live web cam in a bear den under a porch in Monroe County.
In the den are a sow and an undetermined number of cubs. The agency can’t confirm how many cubs are in the den as the cam view currently is mostly of the mother’s back. The mother bear will groom and nurse the cubs several times a day, according to PGC.
Typically, cubs are born in mid-January and emerge from their dens in the first week of April, according to PGC. During hibernation, bears are alert and active but don’t leave the den or eat or drink.
“As we move through March, the cubs will become more visible and active,” the PGC said in a Facebook post Tuesday.
