AUGUSTA, Maine — The Wildlife Research Foundation says a webcam that has been watching a Maine black bear and her cubs has recorded nearly 200,000 hits since it went online Jan. 24.
The privately funded group says 194,719 visitors have watched mama bear Lugnut and her cubs, viewed its videos and read about Maine’s wildlife research programs.
The state Department of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife and Wildlife Research Foundation are streaming video 24/7 on the foundation’s website at www.wildliferesearchfoundation.org.
The camera was placed in the den of Lugnut, who gave birth to two cubs on Jan. 16. The camera in the den will remain with Lugnut and her growing cubs until the spring. Two other radio-collared bears, Spunky and Nell, have also been filmed and their stories are told on the website.
they’re all sleeping right now…that (yawn) reminds me…..zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
Silly me! I thought web cams were planted in a pair of realistic looking teddy bears. Then I read the story and discovered those really are bears.
They are sooooo cute.
i have been watching these bears all winter and its been fun, i hope they will do this next year.
The problem with shooting a cub is you need to wait until the next year before you can shoot another one so you’ll have a pair of those slippers.
I log on everyday! Just LOVE watching “momma and her babies”! So interesting, she’s such a good momma!
This is really cool!
