A 125-pound black bear was tranquilized and captured on a tiny Passaic River island in Paterson -the third largest city in New Jersey. Although bears often get lost in suburban towns during the spring mating season -when cubs are sent away by their mothers, to see one in the city of Paterson is highly unusual. This bear made his way onto a tiny island in the Passaic River, where he was tranquilized and caught by the city's animal control then turned over to Fish & Wildlife for a release at a later time.
