An adorable new resident has debuted at Six Flags Great Adventure’s Wild Safari.

JJ is a 2‑month‑old brown bear cub. The cub and his mother, Hollywood, are spending time together in their own dedicated habitat space alongside the park’s other brown bears.

Visitors can catch a glimpse of JJ on the Wild Safari Base Camp truck tour or through the Safari Off‑Road Adventure experience.

The Wild Safari is home to more than 1,200 animals from around the globe, including rhinos, giraffes, elephants, and bison.
