Mother Bear and Cubs Play Outside Home

A mother black bear and her adorable cubs were spotted playing outside a home in Chicopee, in western Massachusetts, on July 14. Resident Chelsea Moreau told Storyful she woke up to a commotion in her backyard. "An hour later, we look outside and see a bear, followed by three cubs. One was hiding up the tree," she said. Approximately 4,500 black bears reside in Massachusetts, https://massbears.wordpress.amherst.edu/about-the-project/ according to Mass Bear, a project studying their population in the state.
