Mama bear, 4 cubs settle underneath NJ family’s porch — and show no signs of leaving

A bear and its four cubs made themselves at home in an alcove underneath a New Jersey family’s porch — but critters’ cute appeal is quickly fading as the disgruntled residents consider humane ways to evict the pack. The sleuth — or pack of bears — established a makeshift den beneath the porch at a family’s home in Oakland, New Jersey, in the fall and have been hibernating there for months until they finally emerged Tuesday. At first, homeowner Veronica O’Brien-Lim and her family weren’t necessarily bothered by the squatters, though it was a little unnerving to have the protective mama bear so close.
