Pedals is an injured black bear who was last seen roaming around West Milford in December.
He got his nickname Pedals because he is a bipedal bear, who is forced to walk upright due to missing one front paw and the other that is injured. But just yesterday, New Jersey resident Joey Esposito captured Pedals walking near his home on his two hind legs.
Last fall, a GoFundMe page raised nearly $28,000 to relocate Pedals, but the Division of Fish and Wildlife refused to permit the bear to be captured and transferred to the facility.
Lawrence Hajna, a spokesman for the Division of Fish of Wildlife, said he believes the black bear will do better in his natural habitat, and only if his condition deteriorates will the agency step it.
Hajna continued, “The bear has an indomitable spirit.”
