MONROE COUNTY, Pa. (FOX 29) - The Pennsylvania Game Commission is keeping a close eye on a female black bear and her cubs that have taken up residence under a home in the Pocono Mountains.

The game commission and HDonTap worked together to provide a live video stream of the bear and her cubs from their temporary den in Monroe County.

Officials have been careful not to reveal the exact location of the bear to avoid the risk of the hibernating bears being disturbed by human activity.

On the live streaming page, the laws surrounding feeding bears are made very clear, while viewers are also encouraged to refrain from naming the bear and her cubs to respect them as wild animals.

The game commission expects the cubs to become more visible and active as we move through the month of March.
