Just Two Black Bears Duking It Out In Rural New Jersey

NBCPhilly - A pair of bears caught rummaging through trash in a residential New Jersey neighborhood apparently weren’t prepared to share the goods with each other. Montville Township resident Tracey Bednash captured video of the two bears battling one another at a tipped garbage can on trash day. Bednash said she saw the bears in the cul-de-sac in Towaco sauntering toward her neighbor’s recycling bin. “It’s not uncommon for them to come around here on garbage day and ransack the cans,” Bednash told NBC 4 New York in an email. “The huge mama bear was seen around the neighborhood the past week or two. I’m sure she was lurking around.”

WORLDSTARRRRR!

What a tussle. Reminiscent of one of those epic 15-round fights we used to see in the ring before manliness went extinct. But black beasts like this should not be duking it out on a lawn in New Jersey. This isn’t a Canadian forest or Detroit. I don’t care if they’re being playful, it’s scary shit that’s going down on Main St. in Anytown, USA. Plus the last time two bears went at it hard in NJ it was under the AC boardwalk. Wasn’t any prettier.

Obligatory When The Sign Says Don’t Feed The Bears, Man You Better Not Feed The Bears Warning Video. Like the witnesses say, that Mama Bear ain’t far behind (I don’t care if it’s posted once a week it’s probably the only video that makes me shat thy britches):
