Black bear can be viewed on Webcam

Maine’s game department says a black bear named Lugnut can be viewed live on a webcam.

The Department of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife and newly formed Wildlife Research Foundation are streaming video 24/7.

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 when they’ll venture outside and can be tracked with radio collars.

The website had over 15,000 visitors in its first two weeks of being live. Now entering its fourth week, it’s had about 78,000 viewers : Black bear Webcam
