Cool! Or, perhaps, yikes! :-)

Although there are no grizzlies in New Jersey, and what is in the photo is obviously a black bear, you may enjoy this story that has been circulating in the National Park Service (the folks who operate Yellowstone, Yosemite, Grand Canyon, etc,) for several years.

Grizzlies are known to attack people, while black bears attack very seldom (unless provoked). To defend against bears while hiking, visitors to some national parks are advised to wear small bells on their shoes and carry cans of mace. To identify which type of bears are in the area, look for their scat (feces) along the trails. Black bears primarily eat nuts and berries, therefore their scat will contain bits of nutshells and smell of berries. Grizzly bear scat, on the other hand, will contain little bells and smell of mace.
