THE RECORD

HO-HO-KUS — A black bear cub was spotted in the borough on Wednesday morning but appeared to pose no threat to the public, police said.

Lt. Christopher Minchin, the officer in charge of the Ho-Ho-Kus Police Department, said the cub “exhibited normal behavior” and eventually moved on, heading south.

The cub was initially spotted on Sheridan Avenue around 7 a.m., close to the Waldwick line, Minchin said.

Police decided against intervening, but then the cub headed toward the Ho-Ho-Kus Public School on Lloyd Road. That’s when officers approached the cub, Minchin said, working together to direct the animal out of the borough.
