Black bear filmed in a yard on Twins Oaks Drive in Doylestown, Pennsylvania.

DOYLESTOWN, Pa. (WPVI) — The Pennsylvania Game Commission is searching for a black bear cub that has repeatedly appeared in residential areas of Doylestown, Pennsylvania.

The bear was first seen around Covered Bridge Lane on Monday. The Game Commission said he went to the yards of two homes on the street to satisfy his hunger with bird food. Since then, the little one has been seen in at least three other places in the city.

That includes the backyard of Scott Matlack, who said he was filling the bird feeder at his home on Twin Oaks Road Friday morning when he felt something looking his way.

“The bear was on the other side of the fence with his arms over the fence, and he was looking at me,” Matlack said. “And of course I panicked and brought the dog in.”

Matlack said he believes the bear stayed for a little while because he said 30 minutes after he first saw the bear, he spotted it climbing over his fence , walking in the yard, then trying in vain to climb a pole that contains his bird feeders.

“He was obviously interested in the bird feeder. He climbed over the fence and wandered around,” Matlack said. “I guess I was a little scared, but it was more like I couldn’t believe what I was seeing.”

The Game Commission set up a trap filled with treats to try to lure the bear and capture it. So far, he has avoided the temptation of donuts and cakes to continue his exploration through Doylestown.

Jeremy Deppeler said he and his son spotted the bear cub in their yard on Shady Grove Circle Friday morning. He said they decided to go out and see if they could see the bear after news of another sighting started spreading among neighbors. Shortly after they went out onto their deck, Deppeler said he heard rustling sounds, then the bear emerged from the brush.

“It was right there, a baseball shot away from us and so we both froze,” Deppeler said. “We fight the fox here all the time. The fox always tries to eat the chicken, but you never think you’re going to see a bear.”

State Game Warden James Crown said the bear was probably harmless, but he urged people to give it their distance.

“Please don’t get close to it. Please don’t try to throw food at it. Please don’t try to get really close and take a picture .They’re a wild animal. They’re unpredictable,” Crown said.
