Date: Wednesday, May 18, 2011 Incident: Black Bear Sighting
The Department of Public Safety is alerting community members about a reported sighting of a black bear in Princeton Township. A Princeton University staff member saw the black bear around 5:30 a.m. today.
The black bear was reported last seen in the area of the Hun School in Princeton at about 8 a.m. The bear did not come in contact with any person, nor did it present any threat.
Princeton Borough Police, Princeton Township Police, Animal Control and the Division of Wildlife Fish and Game were alerted to this report.
If you see a bear, do not approach or attempt to feed it, but please contact the Princeton Borough Police, Princeton Township Police, or Public Safety, or just dial 911 and give the exact location of the animal. Leave the area calmly and slowly.
The Federal Clery Act requires that universities with a campus public safety agency must, in a manner that is timely and will aid in the prevention of similar crimes, report to the campus community crimes that fall into certain categories and that are considered by the university to represent a continuing threat to the campus community. The Department of Public Safety refers to these notices as “Campus Safety Alerts.” This Campus Safety Alert is issued according to this requirement.

Compared to brown bear attacks, violent encounters with black bears rarely lead to serious injury. However, the majority of black bear attacks tend to be motivated by hunger rather than territoriality, and thus victims have a higher probability of surviving by fighting back rather than submitting. - Wikipedia
