Bear the bear thought that, maybe, in New Jersey, he would finally make a friend. On Monday morning, he ended up in Montclair, not a bad little town, with its own art museum and a Whole Foods and big green backyards, perfect for a bear and his friends to play in. Scared and alone—his first time in New Jersey’s 60th-most-populous municipality—he began lumbering around, hoping that a friend would find him.

The body count from the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection's weeklong bear hunt has reached 441, and there are still two days to go. The DEP says "human interaction complaints" have dropped after previous hunts. Whoa, really? [NBCNewYork]
