• VIDEO: Bear cub curious about bounce house in Montague yard (wwlp.com) — A curious black bear cub recently wandered into a Montague yard and nosed around a deflated bounce house in broad daylight, all caught on video by a local resident. Wildlife officials are reminding Montague neighbors to secure trash and remove bird feeders so bears don’t get used to human food and keep returning.
