I cannot believe it! 6 cubs !!!

@SpringtimeSkies129 I had been thinking that there was a second unseen mother bear nearby, but a neighbor saw six bear cubs and one momma the other night too! Thanks to my dogs that I had a chance to see the bears. They started barking out the windows at 6 AM or so and that's how I was alerted!

Ok so I did some research...5-cub litters are uncommon and 6-cub litters have only been recorded twice! Once in Manitoba and once in Pennsylvania....and NOW, in NJ! :)

@xxequineluvrxx it would be amazing if that is true. my theory is that there was another Momma bear that may have been in the woods nearby, but they do sure follow this Momma when the car came up the drive way. My friend Wendy (bugsme10) thinks she was baby sitting LOL!! (see below)

Great video. How cool :) SIX cubs ... WOW! Mommy is busy.

often if a female is killed wildlife officals will try to get another female to adopt the cub. But 6 is alot for one female to care for.

If I were that homeowner I'd have a rifle ready for them. An air rifle or BB rifle, that is. Not to wound them, but just enough to deter them from ever returning to my yard.
