See Video of Cubs Being Tagged by NJ Black Bear Project Team
In this video on NJ.com, scientists show how they document the bear population in the spring.
A Star-Ledger video report gives a close-up view of how the NJ Division of Fish and Wildlife gathers information about the state's black bear population.
See how the scientists approach a den near Mountain Creek ski resort in Mouth Vernon, and how they tranquilize a mother bear so that they can tag and weigh the family. The animals are returned to the cave and typically re-emerge mid-April, according to the report.
The video was produced by Andre Malok of The Star-Ledger and can be seen the NJ.com website.
