ICYMI: A black bear was sighted in Newark Thursday and prompted the hashtag #delabear to take hold on social media across the state (and it’s still going).
The City of Newark tweeted some footage of the apparently on-the-go bear:

And now it seems the #delabear itself has taken to Twitter:
Be safe out there!
