Walking bear returns to New Jersey neighborhood

JEFFERSON TOWNSHIP, N.J. (KGO) -- The walking bear is back. Residents in a suburban New Jersey neighborhood posted a new video to YouTube showing the bear walking around again on just its hind legs in their backyards.

Neighbors have nicknamed the bear "Vinny."

Vinny was first spotted by wildlife officials in June. They say he's walking upright because his two front paws are injured.

Last month, officials said he's recovering nicely and should be able to walk on all fours soon.
