The "Lily Bear" webcam
made International news in 2010 when we broadcast the birth of a black
bear live to over 50,000 viewers. This was the first time the public and
researchers witnessed this view of a wild black bear birth from a den
site. The camera was featured on the NBC Today Show twice among many
other new outlets.
This is first ever streaming live webcam with audio & video installed in
an active black bear den. The site of this den is near Ely, MN and about
30 miles south of Canada.
