Wild Black Bear Den
Streaming Live Video

UPDATE April 7:  Lugnut and her cubs have left the area and are out exploring their full environment.  Due to an early spring, many Maine Black Bears have already left their dens.  We will be posting updated videos and photos soon of their last few days in the den, when the cubs were very active.  Continue following the website as we post updates.  Please donate so we can provide much needed funding to the bear research team as they track the radio-collared bears.  Thank you very much!
