A fish out of water would be bad news! Don’t forget about our animal friends – they depend on the Delaware River’s clean water too. #4TheDelaware

Did you know that #blackbear cubs stay with their moms until they’re about 1½ years old? Typically, a female will have 2-3 cubs born in the #winter, while she’s in the den. Cubs stay with the mom for over a year and then disperse on their own, as yearlings. #WildlifeWednesday
