Abandoned bear cub, 'under arrest for cuteness,' grabbed by state troopers from interstate highway

New Jersey State Police troopers rescued a young bear cub found alone along Interstate 78 Wednesday afternoon.

Troopers from Troop B out of the Perryville Station responded at around 1:37 p.m. to reports of a lone cub spotted in a roadside ditch on I-78 East in Union Township, according to a New Jersey State Police Facebook post.

When officers arrived, they found the small bear by itself and in need of help.

Photos of the rescue quickly spread online - with many people sharing reactions to the cub's small size and appearance.

"He's under arrest for being too cute," one user commented.

In Altadena, a 550-pound black bear took up residence in the crawlspace beneath a house, where it remained for weeks despite repeated removal efforts.

Wildlife officials attempted to lure the bear out using bait, lights and noise, but the animal continued returning to the space.

The situation was finally resolved when a wildlife response team used an unconventional method, crawling under the house and firing paintballs filled with vegetable oil to drive the bear out.

The effort worked, and the bear left the crawl space after weeks of failed attempts.
