: "A Florida black bear and her cub visit our backyard and enjoy the playground. In this clip, the mama bear and cub are checking out a brightly colored children’s toy. It looks like mama bear is trying to help her cub how the toy works.

Our property is on the Wekiva River in Central Florida, and we frequently have bears and other animals pass through our backyard. Note: We never feed or try to attract any wildlife. Over the years we learned that bears are naturally curious and will stop and play with balls or other toys."
