Pedals the Bear
|
|
A black bear from Northern New Jersey that walked on its hind legs has gained much fame. Pedals, as he is known — and whose upright position makes clear that he is a he — calmly strolled like a person in a bear suit through back yards, driveways and shrubbery in the community of Oak Ridge. The reason for Pedals’s unusual gait is evident in person or video footage: He has a partially missing right front leg and a wounded left front paw, injuries state wildlife officials said were probably incurred by when a car hit the bear. The injuries make the sight of a bear walking on two legs as sad as it is strangely delightful, and they’ve fueled debate among people about whether Pedals needs human help. Pedals was killed during the October 2016 bow hunting season in New Jersey. Numerous sources have said that a hunter has specifically targeted this bear for the past three years.
